Engineer Joseph Muturi Mugu, identified by the National Construction Authority (NCA) as the structural engineer behind the building that collapsed in Eastleigh, Nairobi, has formally disputed responsibility for the project.
Through his lawyers, Bedan Njeri & Company Advocates, Mugu said he only prepared structural designs for a proposed 15-storey development and handed them to the developer for submission for approval.
In a letter addressed to the NCA, the engineer maintains that he never received an approval code for the submitted designs and consequently did not undertake any further professional work on the project.
