A controversy has erupted in Kenya following allegations that its government has issued Kenyan passports to foreign nationals, including individuals linked to international criminal activities and sanctions.

• Politician Ekuru Aukot has strongly condemned the alleged issuance, warning of compromised national security and the devaluation of Kenyan passports.
• Individuals implicated include members of Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia and a Zimbabwean businessman facing corruption investigations.
• Critics allege that passports were issued unprocedurally, bypassing strict legal requirements for naturalisation and citizenship, possibly with the involvement of senior officials at the Ministry of Interior and the Immigration Department.
