Some 22 families from Kangema Sub County in Murang'a and who were displaced by landslides during the past rain season are slated for relocation to safer areas.
Homes of the families from Mucoco, Kairathe, Rwathia and Kahindu villages were affected by continuous heavy rainfall that pounded the region last year rendering their land unsuitable and unsafe for settlement.
Speaking, Sunday, during his visit to the affected families, the Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Delivery, and Government Coordination (CS), Geoffrey Ruku, confirmed that the government had received a report identifying the affected locations as high-risk zones that are no longer safe for human settlement.
The CS observed that there is no other viable solution except relocating the affected families to safer areas. "The government has already marked this land as unstable and uninhabitable.
