Fear as A landslide Cuts off The Kabarnet-Tenges-Ravine road in Baringo: A section of the Kabarnet – Eldama Ravine Road became impassable on Monday morning due to huge cracks on the major highway.
The cracks developed after a heavy downpour that caused landslides. A warning has been issued to motorists, to be extra careful considering the heavy downpour was still ongoing.
Additionally, there are fears that the widening cracks on the road could make the stretch totally impassable not only to motorists but also to pedestrians
The landslide is believed to have occurred early Monday morning after heavy rain pounded the region for the better part of Sunday night.
Fortunately, no motor vehicle accident was reported in the region as the landslide happened in the wee hours of the morning when traffic is relatively low.
The area affected most was the section of the road heading to Kabarnet town through Tenges, in a report from the area Member of County Assembly (MCA).
The section is currently impassable as not only has the landslide caused major cracks on the road, but it has also deposited rock and mud on the highway.
Areas adversely affected by the landslide and road closure include Sacho, Tenges, Sirwo, Kapropita, Talai and Sumeiyon regions in Baringo County.
