    "content": "that is the aim, and that means money. Unless you have money, all these will just be amendments, laws are passed and so on, but they are not implemented. I am glad it is chaired by a Member of my Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights and four Members of the Committee, one third of the Members are from my Committee. I therefore, expect of them to focus on the major effort of how money can be raised to meet those standards. The Government can only budget up to a particular level. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyan Prisons used to have very big farms attached to them. I do not know whether we have an inventory of what has remained of those farms or they have been allocated to individuals to commercialize them. How can the farms that were attached to the prisons be used in a very commercial way to raise many to meet some of the expenses of prisoners and enable them to meet the international standards that we are talking about as the aim of this Committee? Personally, I have some of my furniture made by prisoners. How can we develop them into an industry and generate more money for the prison department so that they can meet the international standards required? That is the greatest challenge according to me. I look forward to receiving this report and in particular the focus on how money can be raised to meet the standards that are required internationally. The Standards and minimum rules have been set out together with international conventions on human rights. Alignment is easy but this is where the challenge is. However, I am quite sure that the challenge will be solved by the Committee, and I wish them good luck. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
