Fifty families were displaced by landslides and floods in Lari subcounty in Kiambu following heavy rain at the weekend. He said families were forced to move to higher ground since most of the areas are flat. Speaking to the Star on the phone, Koros said Matathia, Bathi, Magina and parts of Gitithia experienced landslides. Kijabe MCA Nyutu Wamwere said landslides were caused by loose soil on hilly areas because residents cut trees and uprooted their stumps. I am urging people to avoid cutting down trees on hilly areas to avoid landslides," he said.
