The group was issued with emergency travel documents by local authorities and have already received air tickets to travel home, according to the Kenyan Consulate in Beirut.
Speaking to Daily Nation on Friday, assistant consul-general Kassem Jaber said the group includes 45 Kenyans who were sleeping in the streets of Beirut. He said they were allowed to leave even though they do not have their passports.
“The consulate with the cooperation of the Immigration department was able to clear 75 names of Kenyans who are no longer with their sponsors,” he said, referring Kafala, a controversial Lebanese system of bonding domestic workers.
