    "content": "The proposed amendment gives prison officers all the powers, protection and privileges of a police officer in the performance of any function assigned to them. This will be subject to abuse because it means that prison officers may act as police officers at all times. When the Government was dealing with the issue of Al Shabaab at the Coast and some parts of North Eastern, prison officers were given full powers of traffic and regular police officers so that they could deal with terrorism like other police officers, but they may abuse this. We want to maintain the status quo such that when we need prison officers to act as police officers or provide security during elections, they can do that and revert back to their normal duties."
