    To our special feature tonight, heavy rainfall witnessed in parts of the Rift Valley region in recent months has exposed imminent threats as huge fissures and sinkholes emerge in some parts of Nakuru. Geologists are searching for answers into the emergence of the fissures arguing that the rift valley region still experiences active movement of the tectonic plates and more fault lines have been created. Our reporter Maryanne Nyambura delves into the phenomenon, even as geologists warn that the fissures pose a risk to the construction of skyscrapers as Nakuru sits on unstable soil structure.
