The Sunday Standard leads with the headline “Oburu Empire Cracks,” examining the succession battle surrounding the vast estate of the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

The disaster has renewed questions about how buildings are approved, inspected and allowed to operate despite potential safety concerns. Rescue teams continue working through the rubble as affected families wait for news about their missing relatives.

The coverage places accountability and enforcement of construction regulations at the centre of the national conversation.

Taifa Leo captures the desperation surrounding the Eastleigh disaster with the headline “Ni Wangapi Wataokolewa?” translated as “How Many Will Be Rescued?”
