    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank Dr. Monda for that question. I want him to know that we are going flat out to achieve this, as a Ministry, within the framework of the reform package which I referred to. We do not have much time. In putting his earlier Question, Mr. K. Kilonzo alluded to possible deaths in prison cells. We want to do whatever it takes. October 8, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2575 I have asked my Ministry to fully co-operate with Justice Omolo in trying to see what immediate steps can be taken to address the matter of decongesting our prisons. In the meantime, once in a while at the pleasure of the Head of State, a number of prisoners, who are petty offenders, get released. I know that whenever that happens, sometimes society responds negatively to them. I want to plead with my good friend, Dr. Monda, because I think there is a problem where he comes from because when we release some of these prisoners, then the Chinkororo out there take a different view and they say: \"We want to punish you\". It is against the law of natural justice for any individual to be punished twice."
