Twenty-nine people were still missing and 21 others were receiving treatment after devastating floods in Elgeyo-Marakwet County, government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura said in a statement.
The government has deployed military planes and disaster response specialists to conduct a search and rescue operation, Mwaura added.
Hundreds of people have been killed in recent years in landslides and flooding in Kenya, with scientists saying climate change is causing more intense and frequent extreme weather events.
