In a recently released statement by the ministry of foreign Affairs the ministry says its preliminary investigation identified 10 service passports illegally issued to people who didn’t qualify for them between 2023 and 2026. and the passports have since been cancelled, while two officials have been interdicted and referred to the police. The ministry also says it has found no evidence so far that diplomatic passports were sold.
