A landslide in Kipcheba village, Kocholowo Sub-location, Elgeyo Marakwet County, has caused serious damage, affecting local livelihoods and cutting off transportation in some areas.
The landslide, triggered by heavy rains, destroyed a granary belonging to a farmer. The granary contained nearly 40 bags of maize, which were lost in the disaster. This loss puts the farmer’s food supply and income at risk.
The landslide also left some roads in the area impassable, making it difficult for people and goods to move. These roads are important for local farmers who need to transport their produce to markets.
Local authorities have started clearing debris and assessing the damage.
This incident shows the need for better preparation for disasters in the region. The community is calling for action to prevent future landslides and protect lives and property.
