NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 24 – Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has called for investigations into an architect, engineer and physical planner linked to the 12-storey building that collapsed in Eastleigh, saying construction proceeded without approved building plans.
Sakaja urged professional bodies representing architects, engineers, quantity surveyors and builders to investigate their members and establish whether they complied with professional standards and construction regulations.
Speaking on the second day of multi-agency search-and-rescue operations at the site, the Governor said Nairobi City County records showed that the only approval granted for the development was a change of use from residential to commercial-cum-residential.
