The Uganda prisons commissioner General Dr Johnson Byabashaija decries the reduction of the institution’s budget for financial year 2017/2018 as the number of prisoners continues to rise.

While appearing before the parliamentary defense committee, Dr Byabashaija said that the prisoners have increased by 15% and a reduction in the budget poses a challenge on feeding, utilities medical care among others.

He said that feeding the current 57,336 prisoners each at Shillings 3000 daily require a budget of 62.7 billion and yet only 28.7 billion has been provided creating a short fall of 34.3 billion.

Byashaijja adds that they need extra money to buy security equipment to handle terrorism suspects because they do not fear death and thus prove to be very dangerous.
