  I don't want an ex-convict as a policeman or bank cashier. How would u like it if a person with questionable character is dealing with the public. What can they possible instill in people. Expertise in criminal activity?

  Get one and put him in-charge of your house and farms and make him signatory to your bank account as well.

  Apart from politicians who are the state employing? The state has no jobs except political appointments and ex-convicts are not excluded. Many ex-cons are gainfully employed in the current government.

  “It must be stressed that prisoners are human beings and must be treated with dignity. They have rights and we as officials of the service must ensure that these rights are protected and no prisoner is subjected to dehumanising treatment.”
  
  What rights are we talking about here? The once prisoner may have robbed and even killed. So you are telling us he has rights?
  I think you better think about what you are proposing, and please do not release any dangerous people into the society to cause havoc during the 2016 elections.

  The Northern Regional Commander of the Prison Service, ACP Abundant Robert Awolugutu, has made a passionate appeal to the public and the state to have a second look at the provisions in the nation’s statutory books that unwittingly disqualify ex-convicts from being employed by the state.
