A 20-year-old Kenyan man, Anthony Mwangi, faces a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence in Thailand after being arrested for using an irregular passport with fraudulent immigration stamps. His family in Nakuru is appealing to the Kenyan government for intervention, blaming the recruitment agent who facilitated his travel.

• Anthony Mwangi was detained upon arrival in Thailand in October 2024 due to fraudulent immigration stamps provided by his recruitment agent.
• Thailand has a strict zero-tolerance policy for document fraud, with penalties ranging from one to ten years imprisonment and fines up to approximately Ksh800,000 for forging passports or stamps.
• Mwangi's family is questioning how the fake documents cleared Kenyan airport security and demands action against the recruitment agents.
