Kenyan Engineers Urge Nationwide Construction Inspections
Nine people were killed in two separate construction-related collapses in Nairobi and its surrounding area on November 13–14, prompting concerns over systemic failures in construction safety and regulatory oversight.
Demands of the Institution of Engineers of Kenya:
Conducting independent investigations into both incidents to determine their causes and establish accountability;
Suspending construction activities at the affected sites until safety clearance is granted;
Strengthening enforcement of building regulations and take action against those found responsible for negligence.
