The litho package on the affected slope constitutes flaggy sandstone with subordinate shale which has undergone extensive weathering.  During rainfall, oversaturation of this weak slope material resulted in temporary increase in pore water pressure and r

Proper remedial measure should be adapted as a precaution against future landslides.
Nkio–Prasadimdik slide No.7
Nkio–Prasadimdik road section.
1. Construction of strong reinforced retaining wall/gabion wall at the toe of the slide founded on firm substratum.
2. Removal of depleted material from the road.
3. Construction of lined hillside draiNGe.

1. Weak slope forming material: weathered sandstone with shale.
2. Cutting of slope for road construction. 
3. Incessant rainfall led to oversaturation of slope forming material results in reduction of shear strength due to rise in local pore water press
