Kenya to Introduce Green Passport for Public Servants Travelling Abroad

Kenya plans to introduce a green service passport for public servants and state officers travelling abroad on official assignments who do not qualify for diplomatic passports. Immigration Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang told a parliamentary committee on November 5 that the document had already been printed and would be rolled out once regulations were finalised. It will add a category alongside ordinary and diplomatic passports, as the government considers reviewing the 2012 rules after concerns about unequal treatment of some constitutional office holders.
