Correctional Services PS Dr Salome Beacco has pledged emergency support for Kenya Prison Service officers who were affected by last night's fire at the Lang'ata Women Maximum Prison staff lines.

Speaking while she visited the families of those affected by the inferno, the PS said plans are already underway to construct semi-permanent houses to shelter those affected by the fire. This even as she assured that the government is working on resolving the housing challenge facing officers from the Kenya Prisons Service.
