Ndhiwa MP Agustino Neto has faulted the shoot-to-kill order issued by Interior and National Coordination Cabinet Secretary Joseph ole Lenku and Inspector General of Police David Kimaiyo terming it draconian.

Neto says the Kenyan constitution stipulates that every human being is innocent until proven guilty.

He says nobody should be killed based on suspicion and the order is barbaric and should be condemned.

Addressing a press conference in Kisumu, Neto says it is true the country is witnessing a surge in criminal activities and the orders are not the best strategy to tackle crime.

He says the shoot-to-kill order is not hinged on the constitution and must be reversed to protect humanity and blamed the intelligence wing for sleeping on the job.

Neto says the national police service commission ought to have sanctioned the order if it deemed it fit and not an individual making the order without any consultation.

Ends.
