Interior CS Kithure Kindiki assured the affected families both in Kitui and Mandera of government support.
Mandera Town has been placed under high surveillance and enhanced security measures following a terror attack on Monday at the Fish Point Kiosk that led to the deaths of four people.
They claimed that only the injured police officers were flown to Nairobi, leaving behind other injured individuals who were not law enforcement personnel.
Police say an IED exploded at the Fish Point Kiosk, which is frequented by non-locals and Mandera security officers.
