Reports claim the passports were processed through the office of Evelyn Cheluget, Director General of Immigration Services, with orders purportedly coming from State House.<\/p>\n<p>For context, obtaining a Kenyan passport is not a casual process. One must first have a valid Kenyan national identity card, register on the government\u2019s e-Citizen platform, and pay the required application fees.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"573\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Storm-Over-Wicknel-Chivayos-Alleged-Kenyan-Passport-%E2%80%93-Eduzim-News.jpg?resize=573%2C601&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-846553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Storm-Over-Wicknel-Chivayos-Alleged-Kenyan-Passport-\u2013-Eduzim-News.jpg 573w, https:\/\/www.zimeye.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HCFVrlmWsAAnfYX-286x300.jpg 286w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>\t\t\t<span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- #comments --><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Storm #Wicknel #Chivayos #Alleged #Kenyan #Passport #ZimEye<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storm Over Wicknel Chivayo\u2019s Alleged Kenyan Passport By A Correspondent| Controversial Zimbabwean tenderpreneur Wicknel Chivayo is facing backlash in Kenya&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":51003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32,11],"tags":[2381,1611,6694,468,202,4613,3188,9760],"class_list":["post-51002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi","category-world","tag-alleged","tag-chivayos","tag-eduzim","tag-kenyan","tag-news","tag-passport","tag-storm","tag-wicknel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51002"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51004,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51002\/revisions\/51004"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
