Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has called on regulators and licensing authorities to take their responsibilities seriously following the collapse of a storey building in Eastleigh, Nairobi.

In a statement issued on Friday, Nyoro expressed sympathy for those affected by the incident, urging relevant authorities to strengthen oversight and prevent similar tragedies.

“Our thoughts and sympathies are with all those affected by the building that collapsed earlier today at Eastleigh, Nairobi County,” Nyoro said.

The MP said such incidents should not continue happening, calling on all agencies responsible for regulating and licensing construction activities to discharge their duties with dedication and seriousness.

“It is our hope that these kind of occurrences must stop. All relevant actors, regulators and licensing authorities must do their job with dedication and seriousness to prevent these kind of tragedies,” he added.

Nyoro’s remarks come as rescue teams continue operations at the Eastleigh site, where emergency responders are working to reach people who may be trapped beneath the rubble.

The Kiharu MP concluded his message by expressing solidarity with the affected families, saying, “Poleni sana.”
