The Prisons department splashed Sh43 million on defective bullet-proof jackets that cannot after all shield warders from rifle fire or knife stab.

The department is also on the spot over Sh6.2 billion pending bills, some of which are arising from fictitious supplies of food and other commodities to prisons.
