Police and officials from the National Construction Authority (NCA) are at a construction site in Kiambu County where a five-storied building has collapsed.
K24 Digital has established that the five-storey building located at Kinoo near White House was on the finishing and painting stage when it collapsed.
The building begun disintegrating at around 10 am on Friday, September 3 and luckily no one in the building was hurt.
Information reaching our desk is that the owner of the building identified as Kamau is yet to be traced by authorities.
This comes barely four days after another five-storied building collapsed in Kihara area near Gachie in Kiambu County leaving several people trapped under the debris.
The tragedy in Gachie occurred shortly after 3:00 pm on Monday, August 30 when construction workers were putting up the sixth floor of the building.
It was also established that the building was erected too fast and concerns emerged when they were putting up the third floor but the matter was ignored.
“This building was constructed too fast. It had some issues when they reached the third floor because residents here complained about it. It appeared it had no balance,” a witness recounted.
