Rohee asks Parliament for more money to feed Sophia inmates

Clement Rohee

Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee caused hilarity in Parliament on February 10 when he suggested that during the period around elections 2011, there had been an increase in the number of juvenile inmates at the Sophia holding facility and there had been a consequent rise in the cost of feeding them.

When asked about the increase in expenditure for dietary supplies at the Sophia Juvenile Detention Centre, Rohee elicited laughter when he responded that he could not have predicted the effectiveness of law enforcement.
