Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced the formation of an inquiry committee that will travel to Kenya to investigate the circumstances behind the murder of investigative journalist Arshad Sharif who was shot dead in Nairobi on Sunday night.

The two-member committee – consisting of senior officials from Pakistan’s federal investigating agency as well as a member from a civilian intelligence agency – will submit its finding to the Interior Ministry, according to a notification issued on Wednesday.

The announcement of the investigative committee comes after calls were made within Pakistan as well as by the United Nations for a thorough investigation.

Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN secretary-general, said in a press briefing on Monday that the circumstances behind the murder need to be investigated “thoroughly”.

“The results of the investigation must be shared quickly,” he said.
