Meanwhile, the
National Assembly Majority Leader Aden Duale has said Parliament will review the country's security sector when it resumes on February 4.
He said Parliament
will relook the whole legislation in the security sector, and work with the government and security agencies to improve our legal security systems.
All these he said will be aimed to make sure the country is safe and secure.
Speaking in Garissa on Wednesday, Duale lauded the security forces for containing the situation in the shortest time possible and bringing the perpetrators to justice.
"This is a clear manifestation of the investment we have made as a country in terms of intelligence gathering and equipping our security men and women to combat global terrorism challenges," he said.
"I am a classic example of a victim of terror in 2015 in the Garissa University attack and that's why our men in uniform have paid the ultimate price in Kenya, Lamu, Northeastern and inside Somalia."
The Garissa terror attack claimed the lives of 148 students on April 2, 2015.
