As much as I appreciate the challenges and difficulties that my friend, Sir George, has gone through to read a response that has cleverly skirted around the issues at hand, I cannot directly blame him because he is just a messenger. Where I come from, you do not kill the messenger. You send him back with a message to fill the missing gaps. First, the response has made very many promises with no specific timelines. That begs the question whether anything will happen. For example, the response states that the Service is actively in consultation with the PSC to fast-track the process to facilitate feedback. Only the Almighty God knows when that feedback will come."},{"id":1497116,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1497116/?format=json","text_counter":111,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Funyula, ODM","speaker_title":"Hon.

The response mentions the formation of the Kenya Prisons Service Council, but it does not say when that will happen, as proposed in the Maraga and Marsden Madoka reports. Many of us who have visited any prison in this country will sympathise, empathise and feel sorry about the poor state of housing of prisons officers. It was even bad for the prisoners until Uncle Moody stepped in and said that prisoners are also human beings who deserve to enjoy some basic human rights. Hon. Speaker, this is a general statement. There are no specific timelines or programs given. I want to guide him towards some points I want to make."},{"id":1497118,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1497118/?format=json","text_counter":113,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Hon.

One, please, go back to the sender to give you the timelines for implementing the promises and the undertakings they have made through their statement. Two, there is a fundamental issue that I want to raise. Sir George noticed the absurdity of it and tried to be clever, but I already knew. The joint technical team that was formed to harmonise the salaries excludes the Kenya Prisons Service. It claims that the Kenya Prisons Service was not represented in the technical team and when they were settling on the risk or service allowances, they had nobody to represent nor talk to them. That is why theirs' were set much lower than the other disciplined services and yet, it is their right. To this end, the Kenya Prisons Service has written to the Principal Secretary (PS) for Correctional Services, seeking intervention in the resolution of this matter. They are all armed services."}]}
