Kenya: Deaths As Prison Warders Press On

Gunshots were fired inside the Kamiti Maximum Prison as warders tried to contain a near-riot on day four of the crisis in jails.

God forbid this be not incitement from politicians as an expanded war on the pecking order! Remember the unresolved "prison break" from Naivasha maximum prison during the height of the 2007 Elections! And only in Kenya do the "displined forces" become indisplined and get away with it.The word "mutiny" now means different things.

Then prisoners are taking sides, some demanding the release of a certain warder.In turn,some warders are demanding sacking of their boss.And then two Kenyans shot dead taking civilian clothes to a prisoner in Naivasha maximum prison.Then, all of a sudden, warders discover Uncle Mood only took care of prisoners, not them, but all along, none of them raised the issues when Uncle was busy with prison reforms "for prisoners only", yet those (now) dilapidated houses have been in existence since the colonial days...Strange happenings in Kenya indeed.

The situation of the warders is acknowledged by all to be worse than that of the IDP's. The leaders who seek to have the situation resolved after years and years of neglect by successive governments should not be treated as criminals. They were called to a meeting trap and betrayed by the usual traitor. They should be released in recognition of the gross missmanagement and lack of proper responsibility of government in this sector. If all are equal then all should receive fair pay and fair housing, not delapidated places worse than slums, so the suspended commanders should be freed reinstated and brought in to contribute to the solution of the problems. NO PERSON SHOULD BE PERSECUTED FOR SEEKING A MORE DIGNIFIED TREATMENT IN HIS OR HER WORKPLACE. Does government want to tell the nation that the warders are subhuman?????????????? THEY SHOULD BE REINSTATED
