NewsWeekPRO Inside the Eastleigh Building Collapse: The Companies and Names Emerging By: Kelvin Mutua Date:

NAIROBI, Kenya – Fresh details have emerged about the companies linked to the multi-storey building that collapsed along 9th Street in Eastleigh, Nairobi, with NTV reporting that three individuals co-own the firm listed as the project’s developer.

According to NTV, 9th Street Plaza Limited was co-owned by Abdikadir Abdi Sheikh, Mohamed Khatar Ali Noor and Abdifatah Ali Noor.

The broadcaster also identified Stromax Holdings E.A Limited as the primary contractor, naming John Karuga Ng’ang’a as its director.

The disclosures add to scrutiny of the corporate entities and individuals associated with the ill-fated development as investigators seek to establish the circumstances that led to the collapse.

The National Construction Authority (NCA) has independently identified 9th Street Plaza Limited as the developer and Stromax Holdings E.A Limited as the contractor listed in its records for the collapsed project.

In a statement issued on October 23, the authority said the proposed development was registered on July 30, 2025, on 9th Street in Eastleigh, within Nairobi’s Kamukunji Sub-County.

The NCA also listed architect Emmanuel Mwangi Maina as the project architect and Joseph Muturi Mugu as the structural engineer.

However, the regulator’s statement did not identify the shareholders of 9th Street Plaza Limited or name Stromax’s director. Those details were reported by NTV and could not be independently established from the NCA statement reviewed.

The collapse has intensified questions about building approvals, regulatory oversight and compliance with construction standards in Nairobi.

Governor Johnson Sakaja has raised concerns about the project’s approval status, while police have said investigations are underway to establish the cause of the collapse and determine whether any individuals or companies bear criminal responsibility.

The NCA’s identification of the developer, contractor and professionals listed in its records does not, by itself, establish that any of them caused or contributed to the collapse.

Investigators will need to examine the project’s approvals, construction records, engineering work and compliance with applicable regulations before responsibility can be determined.

The reported ownership and directorship details also remain distinct from any finding of wrongdoing. No conclusion about the liability of the named individuals or companies should be drawn solely from their reported links to the project.

The investigation is expected to establish how the building was approved and constructed, whether the required safeguards were observed and whether any regulatory breaches contributed to the disaster.
