Kikuyu OCPD Birgen Kiptoo has faulted the constitution saying it is a major challenge to handling insecurity as it gives too many rights protecting perpetrators.
Kiptoo stated that the public is reluctant to share security information with the police because they fear being attacked by the suspected criminals.
He said that the constitution protects perpetrators from article 121 to 149 and criticised the right to granted bonds and cash bails regardless of the crimes committed.
Kiptoo said that victims fear to report the criminals for fear that they might get a bond or cash bail then later come to harm them.
He added that the constitution does not protect the victims saying the decision to abolish the system of letting criminals confess to the police has also contributed to increased insecurity.
Kiptoo said that even when a suspect confesses to the police willingly and later pleads innocent in court, the confession is not regarded as evidence.
He said that the Constitution should be amended to protect victims while upholding the rights of perpetrators. He further said that bonds given to capital criminals should be ruled out in order to protect victims.
