President William Ruto has directed the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to speed up investigation into the deaths of Kenyans whose bodies were found in a quarry in Mukuru, Nairobi.
The President assured that those behind mysterious killings in Nairobi will be held to account.
Ruto said the government does not condone extrajudicial killings.
"All those involved in this heinous act of killing young Kenyans will face the full force of the law," Ruto said.
According to Ruto, the killings witnessed in Mukuru were against the constitution and the human rights of any country.
Speaking in Elgeyo Marakwet, the President noted the government had been notified of the incident and investigations had commenced.
Ruto called on the homicide detectives to work closely with the area police officers and investigate the matter.
"In Nairobi, bodies have been found and all of them are female," he said.
"The government is still investigating the matter. I have directed the police and all those involved including the DCI and homicide that they investigate what happened."
On Saturday, five more bodies were retrieved from the Kware dumpsite in Mukuru Kwa Njenga.
They were all tied in sacks similarly.
There were fears the number would rise as the search went on by 2.30 pm.
A crowd gathered at the scene to have a glimpse of the developments amid tensions.
Detectives from the Homicide Unit at DCI headquarters oversaw the exercise as they pleaded for patience to unravel the truth.
Police said they are investigating the deaths and dumping of the bodies at the site which was a quarry and was now being used as a dumpsite.
The search was slow as the teams were using locals by lowering them using ropes to fetch the bodies.
One boat was brought to the scene to help in the search and recovery mission.
