On May 31, 2022, the Kenya Prisons Service suffered a significant loss with the passing of Commandant Wanini Kireri, who was undergoing treatment at the AAR Hospital along Kiambu Road.
Wanini Kireri, a dedicated and selfless officer, had served the Kenya Prisons Service since 1982 when she was enlisted as a cadet officer.
Commissioner General of Prisons John Warioba described Ms Kireri as a gallant and committed officer whose illustrious career saw her serve in various capacities in the prisons service.
"I wish to convey my heartfelt condolences to the family and the Kenya Prisons fraternity as I join them at this moment of grief," said Brigadier (Rtd) Warioba in his statement.
