Marakwet East Lagam Escarpment Landslides

This research-related work is a brief about the highly cataclysmic recurring Landslides of Lagam Escarpment in Kaben Location of Elgeyo-Marakwet County Kenya. They have caused mayhem to the community in the area since the 1961 El-Nino when a major rainstorm hit the area (Kiptungu). Kaben location landslides denudated Embosumer River and left huge boulders scattered over many farmlands on 12th April 2010 where 14 people lost their lives others got badly injured and lots of property destroyed. A decade later on Sunday 19th April 2020 in the afternoon heavy rains catastrophically bounded the area causing massive mudslides that involved many rivers and streams and again killed 26 lives apart from destruction of homes schools and farmlands simultaneously. Thus this work attempts to recommend mitigation measures and positive lifesaving actions to be addressed by the area residents and all concerned parties accordingly.
