    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Ogola on the issue of relocating the prison. We have just been having a discussion on prisons whereby the Government has no capacity to expand the existing prisons. I really wonder how they do have the capacity to relocate an existing prison to a new location. Consultation is key. If the people or the community is not consulted or public participation is not done on the issue of land as to where this prison is going to be relocated to, this is bound to bring some conflicts. As we are all aware, the issue of land is very emotive. So, I wonder whether this issue was deeply thought through and proper consultations done because it really does not make any sense. I am sorry, but it does not make any sense to relocate a prison instead of expanding it. We know expanding a prison is much cheaper than relocating it, to put a new building or a new facility somewhere else. With those few remarks, I support this Statement by Sen. Ogola. I thank you."
