Official data by the government has revealed that an estimated 216 Kenyans go to prison every day for different offences.
This equals 6,540 prisoners a month and 78, 482 in the year 2023 alone, coming in the wake of a spike in crime incidences in the country.
The 2024 Economic survey by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics says that crimes reported in Kenya increased by at least 13 per cent.
This, according to the survey, brought the total reported crimes to 104,842, compared to 2022.
