At least 15 people have been confirmed dead, and 30 others remain missing following a landslide in Marakwet East.
Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen said 25 injured people have been evacuated for medical attention as rescue efforts continue.
“A multi-agency team comprising the military, police, national government officers, the county government, and humanitarian organisations is undertaking ongoing search and rescue operations,” Murkomen said in an update on Saturday.
He added that households at risk of further landslides have been moved to safer grounds, and a desk has been set up for reporting missing persons.
The landslide follows days of heavy rainfall that have triggered flooding and destruction in several parts of the country.
