VP Steven K Musyoka
Vice president Kalonzo Musyoka has said the government will spare no effort to ensure quick return to normalcy following post election violence that has rocked several parts of the country.
Musyoka regretted the wanton destruction of property and loss of lives and warned perpetrators of the ethnic conflicts that they will not be allowed to make the country slide into anarchy.
"The government is fully in charge and acts of lawlessness especially those blocking roads and movement of goods will be met with the full force of the law," he said.
Musyoka was speaking at his Jogoo house office where he received over 4 million shillings from the ministry of transport to assist families displaced by the conflicts.
The money was presented by the transport minister Amb. Chirau Ali Mwakwere.
"The country has suffered both international and local shame and Kenyans need to rise up and reclaim the country's lost glory," Musyoka said.
Special programmes minister Dr Naomi Shaban said the ministry had spent over 200 million shillings towards the internally displaced persons and appealed for more donations.
"Women are the most affected by the violence and I appeal to leaders to dialogue for the sake of peace," she said.
Earlier the vice president held talks with Uganda First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for East African Affairs, Eriya Kategaya at his office.
He reiterated the government's commitment to the Kofi Annan-led peace initiative.
