The Kenyan passport had fallen six more places from the global ranking of the most powerful travel documents to 73rd from 67th place last year, owing to the lack of reciprocal visa waiver agreements with other countries.
The passport lost its standing despite recent reforms like dropping visa requirements for all African nationals, with the number of countries that Kenyans can visit without a visa or obtain one on arrival reducing to 70 from 74 as of January last year.
