    "content": "I admit that certain sections of the prison do accommodate an excess number of inmates above the recommended figure, but the situation is not critical. (b) For prisoners who die while undergoing treatment in hospital, post mortem results will guide us to the cause of death. Other deaths in custody are subjected to both inquest by the police as well as post mortem. All the reported cases died in hospital, in this case. The results will guide us to any liability where pre-existing medical conditions are not the cause of death. As final results are awaited, no action is contemplated against the officer in charge or staff of Kodiaga Prison. (c) I wish to assure the house that inmates in all prisons are accorded the same level of treatment obtainable in our public health institutions. The prison service works closely with the Ministry responsible for health and the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) to ensure sufficient supply of medicine including anti-retrovirals. Whereas the prisons have several seconded Ministry of Health staff, efforts are being made to increase these staff as well as to increase prisons medical staff through recruitment and training."
