Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Directorate of Immigration Services and Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK) have launched a passport delivery service.<\/p>\n

The agreement that was signed on June 3, will see Kenyans countrywide get their passports delivered at their doorstep.<\/p>\n

The Director General, Directorate of Immigration Services, Alexander Muteshi confirmed that the move is meant to improve service delivery to Kenyans.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is in line with the culture of continuous improvement of service delivery at the Directorate of Immigration.<\/p>\n

We are very grateful to the postmaster general and the entire staff of Postal Corporation of Kenya for accepting our request,\u201d stated the Director General, Alexander Muteshi.<\/p>\n

The partnership is in line with COVID 19 measures, and is aimed at reducing congestion at the Immigration offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough this partnership, we will reduce the number of trips that passport applicants make to immigration offices to a single visit,\u201d continued Mr. Muteshi.<\/p>\n

The move comes barely three months after the Immigration offices announced the scaling down of operations as a measure to mitigate the spread of COVID 19.<\/p>\n

The PCK will take charge of the delivery services, and will do so at the convenience of the applicant.<\/p>\n

A robust communication system has been put in place to alert an applicant when the passports are ready for delivery. An SMS with instructions and a link to the postal passport delivery portal.<\/p>\n

Interior CS Dr. Fred Matiang\u2019i had on May 26 instructed the Director General to ease the some of the services offered at their offices, to attract foreign investors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
