Inmates at Narok GK Prison got a rare treat on Saturday from family members and loved ones who visited them at the facility with Christmas goodies.

The festivities came early for the 400 inmates serving terms between 3 to 5 years with many of them happy to meet their relatives.

One of the inmates, Stephen Otieno, could not hide his joy when after being visited by his fiancee Diana Mundi.

Grinning from ear to ear while holding his fiancee’s hands he said: “It has been a year since I was kissed by a woman.”

Mr Otieno is serving a three-year jail term after he was found guilty of forgery and in possession of fake bank notes. He will be released in 2019.

His fellow inmate, Fred Nampaso, was equally thrilled to be visited by his first born daughter Natasha.
