Nairobi — Prison warders across the country have turned to mobile phone technology to rally their colleagues at the country's prisons to push the Government to address their grievances.
Through short text messages circulated to all warders at all penal institutions in the country, the warders have vowed to down their tools Monday if their grievances are not addressed.
They include the disbandment of the commission set up by Vice-President Kalonzo Musyoka.
"We have received the text message and after reading it, we have replied to say that we are in agreement that we will not work on Monday until all our concerns are addressed," said an officer at King'ong'o Prison, who did not wish to be named for fear of reprisal.
