Earth tremors have been experienced in some parts of Kiambu County on Wednesday October 26 morning and Tuesday 25 October morning.
Residents raised concerns asking both the national and local governments to intervene and advise them accordingly with fears that they would escalate into a major earthquake with the tremors intermittent for the third week running.
The most affected area includes Kiambu town, Limuru town and its environs, Mutarakwa, Ngarariga, Manguo and Ngubi as well as parts of Kikuyu such as Kerwa, Keroe and Nachu.
According to testimonies from residents in the affected areas, the tremors lasted for close to 10 seconds.
The tremors also caused visible cracks on a commercial residence in Ndeiya.
“We asked for their professional advice last time, but they are yet to come forth. I have contacted them, and I hope this time, we shall get answers,”
“I do not want to speculate, and we are waiting for answers from experts before making any statement as a county”, Kiambu Environment Executive Officer David Kuria told the Star.
An earth tremor is a small earthquake which shakes the ground slightly.
