Other Reports from a local journalist in the country Wycliffe Nyamasege indicated that the Westlands area of Nairobi was the most affected.

"Parts of Nairobi, especially Westlands, have experienced (an) earth tremor," he said.

The reports were backed up by ODM politician Alinur Mohamed who also made a similar observation and said that the country has experienced an earthquake, even as he pointed out that some were calling it an earthquake.

Earth Tremor is an involuntary quivering movement or "a disorder that causes tremors and muscle rigidity".

It`s caused by a tectonic plate which are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.
