    "content": "the right time to look into the issues raised by Sen. Kwamboka, as a Committee. The Senate Committee on Finance and Budget and the Budget and Appropriations Committee of the National Assembly should look into ways of allocating more funds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is interesting that most of our prison facilities do not have biometric registration. It is only a few. How do we monitor prisoners because we have cases where some of them have been killed? We have had cases where some people have been killed in police custody. It is sad that some of the land belonging to prisons was taken away. This is a common denominator in most prison facilities that we have in this country and especially the Industrial Area Remand Prison in Nairobi. People are now selling their wares there. I hope the Senator for Nairobi City County will take up this matter with the Ministry of Lands and the National Land Commission (NLC). We need to improve on how we run our prison services. As a Committee, we will even engage the KPS officials and the national Government to see how we can improve and ensure that our prison facilities are run well as much as possible. We are aware that the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) are working hard to ensure that people are taken to prison. We have to ensure that prisons are better places than home. My Committee will work on this and we will advise the House on the same."
