An explosive Auditor General Edward Ouko has exposed how majority of Kenya Prison staff live in squalor condition which has continued to dim their performance. This is despite a government’s own Rapid Result initiative which saw state pump Sh 1.15 billion to provide decent housing units to the officers. The report tabled on Thursday by National Assembly majority leader Aden Duale painted a grim picture of dejected officers who are forced to share dilapidated houses not fit for human habitation. From the shocking findings, a whopping 84 percent of the officers survive on houses that have been declared inhabitable. Ouko said the prison department currently has a paltry 3,894 permanent houses against a staff population of 23,831.
