 Kenyan building collapse near Nairobi kills six people The collapse of an unfinished eight-storey building in Kenya has killed six people. The structure fell on Friday morning in Syokimau on the outskirts of Nairobi. Construction workers were reportedly at the site when the building’s uppermost concrete slab gave way, bringing down part of the structure, according to a preliminary report from Nairobi City County’s emergency team. The report did not establish why the slab failed. The Kenya Red Cross initially reported that three people had been rescued and one person was reported missing. TV reports later said that five people had been pulled alive from the rubble and taken to hospital. The emergency report said the number of workers present when the building fell had not been confirmed, leaving open the possibility that others were trapped. Firefighters and specialist rescue teams were continuing to search for survivors.

Kindiki: Kenya's law professor-turned-deputy president


Kenya's Kithure Kindiki has been sworn in as the country's new deputy president to replace Rigathi Gachagua, who was impeached by parliament in October, TRT Afrika reported.


Professor Kindiki's swearing-in — marked by a public holiday — was held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Kenya's capital Nairobi on Friday, November 1.


The ceremony came hours after the High Court lifted orders that had barred Kindiki's oath-taking following a petition filed by former Deputy President Gachagua.


It is that oath that ostensibly marks the end of Gachagua's two years in office as Kenya's second-most powerful person.
