    "content": "The Ministry applied this provision of the code of regulations in conjunction with the provisions of the Prisons Act, Chapter 90 (16) and the Public Service Commission Act, Chapter 185(40)(31) of the Prisons Service regulations. The due process, I am convinced, was followed and the Public Service Commission retired the officers in public interest. (c) An internal Government investigation was carried out following the very famous prisons officers’ strike. I specifically appointed a high level committee immediately after the strike to review the state of discipline of prisons officers, among other matters, and make appropriate recommendations for implementation. The Report of this Committee strongly disapproved of the strike and recommended stern action against the perpetrators and immediate restoration of discipline in the Prisons Service. I hereby table the full Report of the Commission which was chaired by the hon. Major (Rtd) Marsden Madoka, dated 16th July, 2008. As I table this document which I think I had given to my learned friend to acquaint herself with, I do need to point out Recommendation No.10 where the committee condemned the mutiny by the prisons officers which is a serious offence. It reads: “The committee recommends thorough investigations and stern action against the perpetrators.” That was a specific recommendation."
