 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.

 Nestlé chairman resigns two weeks after CEO’s sudden dismissal


Nestlé announced that Chairman Paul Bulcke will step down on Oct. 1, accelerating a planned departure amid ongoing leadership changes following the sudden firing of the company’s CEO earlier this month. Bulcke, who has served as chairman since 2017, had originally planned to leave next April. Vice Chair Pablo Isla will take over the chairman role after Bulcke’s early exit.

The move comes as Bulcke faced pressure from investors critical of the company’s performance and decision-making, according to reports. “This is the right moment for me to step aside and accelerate the planned transition, allowing Pablo and Philipp to advance Nestlé’s strategy and guide the company with a fresh perspective,” Bulcke said in a statement. The decision follows the abrupt ouster of CEO Laurent Freixe over an undisclosed relationship with a subordinate. Nestlé appointed Philipp Navratil, head of its Nespresso brand, as CEO, marking the third chief executive in just over a year. The company has struggled with sluggish sales and falling shares, down 35% since early 2022, amid internal missteps and inflation-driven consumer pullbacks.
