The main reason for the reactions of Kenyan Citizens were brought up by the new charges released yesterday as follows;
A 50-page ordinary passport will now cost applicants Ksh.9,500 from the existing Ksh.6,000 while the application fee for a 66-page ordinary passport has shot up by Ksh.5,000 to Ksh.12,500.
Replacing a lost passport will cost Ksh.20,000, an increase of Ksh.8,000 from the previous fee while replacing a valid mutilated passport will cost Ksh.20,000 from Ksh.10,000
Acquiring Citizenship by marriage will now cause you Ksh.100,000 which was initially Ksh.30,000 and many other more.
The increases sparked sharp reactions on social media as some Kenyans demanded the need to have demos to force the government to rescind the decision.
President Ruto is expected to address the above issues while addressing the nation today.
