Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions

Direct Provision: Discussion

4:35 pm

Mr. Stephen Ng'ang'a:

I have had the privilege of being in a centre where some Government officials came to visit. Only by chance did they see where I live, because I had the guts to invite them to come in and see where I lived. The tendency of the centre managers is to take the inspectors to empty places and newly refurbished or painted rooms, so the inspectors are very limited in what they can see. They tick their check lists as to the rooms and lights, but do not see the functionality of the rooms. The inspections are fraudulent because they do not depict the real picture of what happens in the centres.
