    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Before I start, I would like to confirm that I have given a copy of the response to Hon. Wilberforce Oundo. Therefore, kindly, allow me to read an abbreviated version of the response because he has the full particulars of the response. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), the request for a statement was made by Hon. Wilberforce Ojiambo Oundo, Member of Parliament for Funyula. The response has dealt with the various issues raised as follows: The first issue was the status of the implementation of the recommendations of the Maraga Taskforce Report, specifically in relation to the promotion of prison officers, some of whom have stagnated in the same job group or grade for over 10 years. The constitution of the Prisons Council is provided for under Section 21(c) of the Prisons Act. The response is that promotion in the Kenya Prisons Service is a process that is guided by the Public Service Commission (PSC) with respect to the scheme of service for prison officers and uniformed personnel, which was revised in October 2014. As a result of this, the Kenya Prisons Service has been filling vacant positions through interviews. As a result of that filling, the correct position currently is that we have two Deputy Commissioners-General of Prisons, eight Senior Assistant Commissioners-General of Prisons, 10 Assistant Commissioners-General of Prisons, 114 Commissioners of Prisons, 311 Senior Superintendents of Prisons and 168 Superintendents of Prisons. There are no Assistant Superintendents of Prisons, while there are 122 Chief Inspectors of Prisons, 862 Inspectors of Prisons, 399 Senior Sergeants of Prisons, 1,487 Sergeants, and 2,754 Corporals."
