At least 20 people were confirmed dead last evening, with 25 injured and several others missing, as horrendous mudslides struck Elgeyo Marakwet County.
The tragedy affected Murkutwa, Chesongoch, Kabetwa, and Embobut areas of Marakwet East, displacing nearly 500 families after night-long deluges caused rivers to burst, triggering runoffs down the Elgeyo Marakwet escarpments.
