Kenya's Ministry of Interior has directed all Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to re-register under the new Public Benefit Organisations (PBO) framework by May 13, 2026, or face deregistration.

• NGOs must complete re-registration and obtain certification to continue operating legally in the country.
• The directive comes from the Ministry of Interior, led by Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen.
• Some NGOs are challenging the re-registration requirement, arguing it was declared unconstitutional and that the eCitizen platform for registration is currently unlawful.

Kenya employs a distinct white front and yellow rear number plate system for vehicles, a regulation mandated by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) with crucial safety implications.

• The colour difference aids in direction identification, with yellow being highly visible in low light and poor weather.
• The NTSA requires all plates to be manufactured from reflective material for enhanced visibility.
• This system, also used in countries like Uganda and formerly France, traces its origins to the United Kingdom.

Kenya's passport issuance has seen a significant decline in 2025, with the number of documents issued falling by 36.7%. This drop coincides with the removal of the 50-page passport option on the eCitizen platform.

• Passport issuance dropped to 393,567 in 2025, down from 621,794 in 2024.
• The Kenyan government attributed the decrease to weaker demand, rising costs, and economic pressures, yet public sentiment points to the removal of lower-cost passport options.
• The 50-page booklet, previously priced at Ksh 9,500, was quietly withdrawn from the eCitizen platform in February 2026, leaving only more expensive options.
