Perennial landslides in Kilungu, Makueni County, have left residents homeless, exposed graves and destroyed food crops.
More than 20 families are staring at dark days ahead as the earth continues to drift further.
Kivingoni village in Kaiti Constituency has been hitting the headlines every rainy season, with displaced families forced to camp in schools and churches in elevated areas. The government has done little to mitigate the situation.
Yesterday, when
The Standard visited the village, locals were salvaging the little they could find before moving to higher grounds. The landslides, which started three days ago, have also cut off Kilungu from the neighbouring Nunguni market.
