Islamabad (HRNW) Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday said that Pakistan has raised the matter of journalist Arshad Sharif’s murder with the Kenyan leadership and that Islamabad looks forward to a ‘proper’ investigation into the matter.
He was speaking to the media in the corridors of the National Assembly after speaking on the floor of the lower house of Parliament.
“PM Shehbaz Sharif has requested the president of Kenya to conduct an inquiry, and the Pakistani embassy in Kenya has been looking into the matter,” the foreign minister said.
Bilawal went on to condemn the murder of the senior journalist.
“We would be looking forward to a proper investigation,” he added.
Arshad Sharif was shot in the head by police after he and his driver allegedly breached a roadblock set up to check motor vehicles along the highway, Kenyan local media claimed.
