    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I came to the Ministry, indeed, the service was - I must accept – demoralized and, as a result, a mutiny took place. That was a very painful thing because those are men and women bearing arms. However, since then - and you have the freedom to check with the Commissioner for Prisons - you will appreciate the fact that, in the last few months, we have had so many of them promoted to the next ranks, chief officers and others. I want to confirm that the morale in the Prisons Service at the moment is very high. Those with degree qualifications are getting priority when it comes to promotion but I can assure you that the morale in the Prison Service right now is at its highest. We hope we can continue with this spirit even as we seek to deepen the prison reforms that were initially started by the then Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs; hon. Moody Awori. We have now taken those reforms very seriously to the next level. Thank you."
