Registrar-General Henry Machiri said even though they have to grapple with the breakdown of machinery, the department is satisfied with the progress made so far. Said Machiri:

> As of June 3, 2022, the department has produced 110 195 electronic passports (e-passports).

> This is quite commendable given that we have managed to do this in just six months.

> We could have actually done better but currently, the department is experiencing challenges in the clearance of the backlog and production of machine-readable passports due to the breakdown of machinery.

> Efforts are, however, underway to address the situation.

> … The department is currently conducting a national mobile registration exercise which commenced on April 1, 2022.

> As of May 31, 2022, the department has issued 508 886 IDs, 549 960 birth certificates and 19 037 death certificates.
