Kenyan President Uhuru
Kenyatta has said "we will not flinch" in the war against Islamist group
al-Shabab after a massacre near the Somali border.
"This is a war against Kenya and Kenyans," he said on national TV. "It is a war that every one of us must fight."
Kenya's police chief, David Kimayo, and Interior Minister Ole Lenku are being replaced.
Al-Shabab earlier killed 36 quarry workers in the Mandera region.
The group attacked the workers around midnight on Monday as they slept in tents at the quarry in Kormey, 15km (nine miles) from the north-eastern town of Mandera.
The non-Muslim workers were shot dead after being separated from the Muslims.
A driver who visited the scene of the attack, Ali Sheikh Yusuf, told the BBC most of the victims appeared to have been lined up, and shot in the head, at close range.
He said four were beheaded inside their tents, while three appeared to have escaped to Mandera town.
