Over a month after the single deadliest tragedy that rocked Maai-Mahiu town, leaving dozens dead and others missing, the fear lives on, after minor tremors hit the already troubled town.
Residents of towns along Old-Naivasha road say they woke up to alarming earth movements on the morning of June 18, 2024.
The towns of Governor, Maai-Mahiu town centre, Mafuta taa, Mogas, Gathima and Kanairobi were hit by two separate events in a span of minutes.

"I thought I was dreaming until I heard a second tremor," one resident said.
This comes as the town heals and rebuilds from the deadly flood that wiped towns in it's wake and left large boulders in areas that were previously human settlement, highlighting the grave danger that lay behind the Kijabe landscape.
The town which lies east of the Longonot Volcano, is not new to earth movements as huge cracks in 2018 convinced theorists that Africa was splitting.
Despite no major developments since 2018, and geologists disproving the split theory, residents who have lived the scare, are alarmed that something bigger might be brewing.
They continue to hold on to hope that this was just a passing wave as another hit would be too much for one town to handle.
