The Lodwar GK prison warders who have been undergoing a four day training on human rights, have finally graduated today.
The deputy officer in charge of the station chief inspector James Obiero said that the training was necessary to his officers since they are handling people who are vulnerable. He insisted that officers should know criminal procedures so that they help the inmates in writing appeals.
He urged the community to stop stigmatizations to the inmates since after their service in prison, they will still join the community.
The training which was organized by the peace and justice diocese of Lodwar, brought together more than 20 officers, who were issued certificates of merit. During the issuing of the certificates, some of the officer had a reason to smile after receiving good news of promotion. Some could not hide it. Else where, 16 stakeholders from Turkana central child protection and gender based violence, met today at golden guest house to review the terms of reference and work plan for the net work. The meeting was organized by International Rescue Committee (IRC) GBV desk and World Vision child protection office.
