The President approved, on 11 August 2023, 24 months of remission for prisoners convicted for non-violent and non-sexual crimes. Prisoners considered low-risk and convicted for sexual offences, for tampering with essential infrastructure, to a life sentence, or declared dangerous criminals are eligible to a 12-month remission. Approximately 9,488 incarcerated prisoners and 15,000 prisoners under correctional supervision and parole will be released. This process will be overseen by a joint technical task team over the next ten months. Victims will be allowed to make representations during the prisoners’ consideration for release. This decision will also result in the deportation of 3,064 foreign nationals serving short-term sentences.
