He added that the government would ensure that those responsible for the chaos are held to account.
"I expect the Inspector General of Police and all other relevant security agencies to conduct immediate, thorough, and speedy investigations," he stated.
"The perpetrators of this violence, looting, and destruction must be identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

Meanwhile, he also warned politicians who are alleged to have been behind the violence.
"Kenya is a country governed by the rule of law, and the government shall not allow such acts to destroy lives and livelihoods," he stated.
"To the political actors who think that they can exploit the genuine aspirations of our young people to cause chaos, violence, and destruction. The wheels of justice will find you."
Meanwhile, he hit out at those calling on him to leave office. He stated that some of the people did not have a plan.
He added that the 'Ruto Must Go' would not be enough to get him out of office.
"If it is Ruto must go, then tell me how you want me to go. What do you mean by Ruto must go? Look for a better plan and convince the people of Kenya,"
