    "content": "That, Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Regulations, 2012 give power to the Cabinet Secretary, where he considers necessary, to authorise the issuance of a diplomatic passport to a person who does not fall in any of the categories set out in the Third Schedule. Under the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Regulations, 2012, Regulation 14(3) states that a holder of a diplomatic passport shall upon ceasing to hold the office or having the status specified in the Third Schedule surrender the diplomatic passport. Any passport that has not been surrendered in accordance with Paragraph (3) shall cease to be valid. The Directorate of Immigration Services recommends that amendments be made to the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011 to provide for issuance of Official/Service passports to Government officials and athletes who intend to travel to represent the country in various assignments and do not qualify for diplomatic passports. With those few remarks, thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. We, therefore, need a law enacted on this matter so that we can allow our athletes to get diplomatic passports."
