A dam burst late on Wednesday in a Kenyan town after heavy rain, causing "huge destruction" and deaths, said a government official on Thursday.
The burst happened in Solai, a town 190km northwest of the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
"The water has caused huge destruction of both life and property. The extent of the damage has yet to be ascertained," Lee Kinyajui, governor of Nakuru, said in a statement.
The Kenyan Red Cross tweeted that it had rescued 39 people.
