Five family members were on Thursday morning killed in a dawn landslide in Kighombo, Mwatate subcounty, Taita Taveta county. Taita Taveta county commissioner Rodha Onyancha said those killed were a man, his wife and their three children. Onyancha further warned people living along Voi River to move to safer areas, noting that the river might burst its banks. “It has rained heavily on the highlands of Rong’e and the water is flowing down most probably towards Voi through Voi River,” she said. County Red Cross coordinator Jerome Oranga on Thursday afternoon said they are monitoring the situation because Voi River has burst its banks and flooded Msabweni estate.
