Residents living on landslide and mudslide prone areas of Kerio escarpments in Elgeyo Marakwet County will have to move as rains continues to pound the region.

The weathermen fear several earth cracks that emerged during a long dry spell in the area will increase infiltration of rain water and might trigger mud or landslides along the escarpments that stretch from Keiyo South to Marakwet East.
