By KITAVI MUTUAMore by this AuthorThe Ministry of Land’s failure to issue adjudicate land and issue title deeds in the county has been cited as a contributor to congestion in local prisons. Remand prisoners facing trial for bailable offences Wednesday said they cannot raise bail despite owning huge tracts of unsurveyed land, which could secure their release on bond. They were speaking to a team from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions that visited the Kitui GK Prison to explore ways of reducing congestion. “Where bail or bond was ordered by the court, we would want to know why the remandee has not taken that course. In short, we will seek to explore the reasons why the population of remandees could not be scaled down” he said.
