Admitting that he’s not pleased with the present condition of the Mazaruni Prison, Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn has called on inmates to be “more” patient and disciplined as works are ongoing to improve their living conditions.
“We don’t like the conditions you’re under but this is where we are at now and we are working to improve it. So I’m just asking for you all to be more patient, more disciplined and respect each other and the officers so that we could move ahead,” Benn told the inmates.
Benn headed a team to Region Seven on Sunday during which they visited the Mazaruni Prison to have a first-hand assessment of the condition of the facilities as well as completed and ongoing capital projects. He was accompanied by Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Home Affairs, Mae Thomas; acting Director of Prisons, Nicklon Elliot and staff from the Ministry.
