    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I want to speak to the Galana issue. There is need for public participation in every agenda and programme. So, I support the Member who brought this Petition. The other issue is that we have to consider local people when running any programme. I support that. On the issue of prisoners, I sit in the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. As a social worker by profession, I support the issue of educating those in prison. This is because it is a human rights issue for everyone in the country. It is their fundamental right. Some of those in prison might just have stolen food or a kilogramme of sugar. Therefore, you cannot deny someone education based on that. They are our people. We are supposed to rehabilitate them. When we talk of rehabilitation, we are talking about enhancing the living standards of a human being. I advocate for them. They have to be educated. Currently in Kenya, we are in the process of getting furniture for our schools. Those inmates make good furniture. I remember when I got married, the first bed we used was from the Prison Industries."
