The Cabinet Secretary for Interior, Fred Matiang'i has directed the National Police Service to investigate and arrest youths involved in the stoning of ODM leader Raila Odinga's chopper on Friday.
In a statement, Matiang'i condemned the attack, saying that those who planned the attack should also be arrested.
"I call upon the National Police Service to investigate the matter and ensure that all the culprits and their masterminds are made to swiftly and decisively face the consequences of their criminal actions," he said.
The CS said such attacks take our country back to the days it has worked hard to put behind, which was as a result of political intolerance.
"The regrettable incident is a sad and atavistic reminder of the ugly face of violent political intolerance that our beloved motherland has worked hard to consign to the annals of a painful history in the last 14 years," Matiang'i added.
His statement comes after the former Prime Minister who had attended the burial of Mzee Jackson Kibor was attacked by youths in the area.
Mzee Kibor's burial was held on Friday in his first wife's home in Ziwa, Uasin Gishu County.
Raila and his team had pitched tent in Rift Valley on Friday for campaigns.
Suna MP Junet Mohamed said they were mid-air when the attack happened. He said they had to seek alternative means as soon as possible.
"Today we almost got killed in soy constituency Uasin Gishu County at the Burial of Mzee Jackson Kibor's burial. Our chopper was completely destroyed and we had to look for alternative means mid-air," Junet tweeted.
In a statement after the attack, Raila blamed Uasin Gishu governor Jackson Mandagor and Soy MP Caleb Kositany for organising the attacks.
"I call on the two, and all leaders from the region who believe in our constitution, to come out now, not later, condemn the incident and promise an end to the bizarre attempts to balkanize the country into ethnic and tribal party zones ahead of August election,"
read part of the statement.
"Despite the violence meted out on me and my team today, I remain optimistic that Kenya will hold peaceful, free and fair election in August."
