Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi said in a statement that 1.8 million Kenyans are yet to apply for the second generation e-passport.
“Due to this, the government extends the deadline for voiding the current dark blue machine-readable passport by 12 months,” Matiangi said.
"As such, it's holders may continue using it until March I, 2021 when it will no longer be valid," the statement added.
