The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is rooting for the adoption of alternative dispute resolution to decongest prisons and save Kenya some of the Sh5.5 billion used annually to feed prisoners.

According to the DPP, the government spends Sh270 daily to feed each of the 55,000 prisoners.
