 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.

ENFORCING THE “END TO SIT AT HOME” POLICY


I have to be honest , making this decision was not easy. 


We officially declared that the ‘sit at home’ culture must end, and it must be enforced seriously. 


I felt a surge of determination when I spoke these words because I know how much this affects ordinary citizens. 


Families, workers and traders people whose lives are disrupted every time activity stops.

Sitting there, announcing this policy, I thought about the frustration of those who want to go about their daily lives but can’t. 


I imagined the mothers, fathers, and young people trying to earn a living, only to find the streets empty and businesses closed. 


That feeling of empathy mixed with urgency drove the decision home for me.

I know it won’t be easy to enforce, and yes, some may resist, but I feel strongly that this is a step toward progress. 


Our state cannot thrive when fear keeps people at home. 


My hope is that everyone will see this not as punishment, but as a call to action a call to reclaim our Mondays, our markets, and our productivity.
