At least 10 people have been confirmed dead after heavy rains triggered mudslides, rockfalls, and flooding in several parts of Elgeyo Marakwet County since Friday evening.

The intense rains caused dangerous runoffs along the steep Kerio escarpment, sweeping debris into villages and flooding low-lying areas in the Kerio Valley.
