Kenya: Murang’ Earth movement disaster leaves 300 families in despair.

Jun 10, 2018

Over 300 families have been displaced by landslides and fault lines that have formed across Murang’a county.

Some have been integrated with other families while others are being accommodated in schools.

According to Red Cross, over 300 more families have been affected by rains after their property was destroyed.

Areas most affected are Kangema, Mathioya, Kahuro and Kigumo subcounties where huge chunks of farms were swept away.

Kangema was most affected as large cracks formed across farms and destroyed houses.

An assessment by Red Cross has indicated some houses sunk while others were completely destroyed as the earth moved.

Mount Kenya Red Cross regional manager Gitonga Mugambi has said this has left many families stranded and dependent on well-wishers.

Mugambi said many houses have also been declared unfit for habitation in Gitugi village, Mathioya subcounty, and residents are now being hosted by their neighbours.

“Many of them have been left without a source of livelihood as tea and coffee bushes were swept away,” he said on Thursday.

Some families, Mugambi said, will be forced to find alternative land to build homes.

He urged the national and county governments to help families relocate and obtain land.

Mugambi said other than providing food, the organisation is also providing counselling.

“Some people who were doing very well in life have now been reduced to depending on relief and that has taken a toll on most of them,” he said.

Mugambi expressed concern some families have refused to relocate even though their houses have huge cracks and are falling apart.

He said those refusing to move are putting their lives at risk.

Five people died in separate incidents of landslides in Kahuro and Gitugi areas and scores of others were rescued after being trapped in the mud.

John Kihia, a Kangema resident, narrated how he found his house “hanging” one morning after part of his house came apart.

“My kitchen sunk and my main house developed major cracks, forcing me to move my family to my neighbour’s home,” he said.

Kihia said he now relies on help from his neighbours and other well-wishers.

The operator of a backhoe was buried after, at 12:42 p.m. m. of this Thursday, a landslide occurred in the Trigal Group property, in San Miguel de Santo Domingo de Heredia.

The preliminary report of the Fire Department detailed that it is estimated that they moved about 50,000 cubic meters (m³) of material, which dragged the backhoe along with the worker, who has not been identified.

At the time of the accident, a ground movement was made in the upper part of the terrain, reported Bernardo Barboza, in charge of search operations by the fire department.

The stones, the earth and the trees that were moved also buried several containers that were in the part below and some five were dragged several meters.

Héctor Chaves, director of the Fire Department, said that 10 people specialized in rescue were transferred to the site, as well as the Canine Unit.

"The problem is that the terrain is very unstable," Chaves said. The dogs Joe and Zeus made a first crawl of the area where it is presumed that the worker could be buried, of 60 years, but the results were negative.

At the time when the material fell, another two workers accompanied the tractor driver, but these people, noticing the movement of land, ran. The witnesses said that the backhoe operator jumped from the equipment, but was lost in the dirt.
