Nkaissery has ordered the Lang'ata OCPD Elijah Mwangi to read the names the officers who lobbed tear gas at protesting Lang'ata primary children in Langata yesterday.
Speaking at the school on Tuesday morning, Nkaissery apologised to the school and parents on behalf of the government.
"I was so shocked to see how thepolice officers threw tear gas at the Lang'ata pupils," he said.
Confirming the playground as government property, Nkaissery said those who grabbed it will be penalised.
"The alleged owner of the land must be known. He must come and pick these stones at the school's playground within the next 24 hours," he said.
He also said that the government will fence and level the playground starting Thursday if the private developer does not clean up.
The Minister said he believes the saga was political, noting however that the police force will make amends if officers are found responsible.
He underlined that it was wrong for the activists to involve children and use stones to provoke police officers.
The demonstrators demolished a wall built by the private developer that separated the school from the playground.
Five kids, two journalists and a police officer were injured and two activists arrested during the incident.
Mwangi and other officers in charge of breaking the protest were suspended on Monday, the police saying the approach was unacceptable.
