President William Ruto has announced that the Kenyan government is taking steps to improve the welfare of prison officers, who have been neglected for decades. The President revealed that the administration has been implementing transformative policies that include increased salaries, better healthcare, and the provision of dignified houses for the officers.
These improvements were highlighted during the 27th Pass-Out Parade for Kenya Prisons Service Cadets at the Prisons Staff Training College in Ruiru, Kiambu County. In addition to salary increases, prison officers have been placed under the Usalama Cover for healthcare and the Wanini Kireri Magereza Level IV Referral Hospital was opened to serve them, their families, inmates, and the surrounding communities.
The government has also allocated 28,000 units under the Affordable Housing Programme for the Prison Service, which will help improve their living conditions.
