    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy that my learned friend feels that we should visit that prison. Indeed, when we will be on a recess, I will want to visit the prison with him. As he rightly pointed out, our core business is rehabilitation of offenders, always taking into account their basic human rights. We do not want to rehabilitate them by giving them corporal punishment everyday. There are ways that are set and that is what we want to do. We have also realized that it is also their basic right to be given sufficient rations, some food; that is very important. When I appeared before the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security I highlighted the fact that we have run short of the budget for giving food. In fact, the pending bills are in excess of Kshs800 million. However, we are doing the best we can. We will make do with the resources at our disposal and I am sure that the officer in charge of Kodiaga, with his colleagues, are doing the best they can within what we have budgeted for them. However, in terms of extra-curriculum activities and other things, these are things that we will see when I and Mr. Olago visit the prison."
