Embu West Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) Francis Sang has called on the government to maintain the death sentence.
Sang has called for the formation of a firing squad to execute those found guilty of committing capital offences.
Speaking on Friday in Embu during the Power and Advisory Committee meeting with locals in the area, Sang said it would only be fair to subject capital offence victims to pain just as they did to their victims.
"All capital offence suspects should be subjected to the same pain they subject to their victims. That is why the death penalty should be maintained and a firing squad formed to execute those found guilty of capital offences," said Sang.
The Power and Mercy Advisory Committee was in Embu to seek the views of the people on whether to maintain the death penalty.
Most in mates sentenced to death are serving life sentences, their fate lying with the views collected from the public.
