The US will offer financial assistance to the victims of West Pokot landslide tragedy directly, a sharp contrast to the past where it involved the government.
At least 52 people have been confirmed dead following the calamity which hit the North Rift county on Friday night.
Hundreds of others have remained homeless with the humanitarian crisis striking the county according to area governor John Longanyapuo.
While condoling with the victims on Monday, US said it will however, work closely with Red Cross international to ensure victims are compensated.
"Our profound sympathies go out to all affected by this disaster. We commend the work of local authorities, humanitarian officials, and all who are responding to the emergency," read the statement on Facebook.
"The U.S. government, through its partnership with the Kenya Red Cross Society, is providing financial support directly to the affected people of West Pokot."
On Monday, Deputy President William Ruto visited the region and promised to ensure deployment of an extra chopper for humanitarian aid.
''An extra chopper will be put on the ground for logistics and 40 doctors from Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital will complement their Kapenguria counterparts in attending to the survivors,'' he said.
This comes amid pressure from US on Kenyan government in the fight against corruption. Last week, US banned former AG Amos Wako from visiting Washington DC.
