 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.

 UPDATE ON WASTE INTERVENTION IN COMMUNITIES


LAWMA’s waste intervention continued in Oludo and surrounding communities to address waste backlogs following the withdrawal of the assigned PSP operator.


At Oludo, commercial and healthcare facilities were prioritised to address the growing waste backlog. The exercise focused mainly on Perfect Packaging Limited along Ebute Road, where approximately 85 per cent of the waste clearance was completed, while the remaining 15 per cent came from domestic premises on Tope Ojo Street.


At Dele Ayedun Close, all 16 buildings were successfully covered, ensuring the evacuation of accumulated waste and improving environmental cleanliness.


The exercise also highlighted the importance of waste segregation at source, particularly for recyclable materials generated by commercial establishments. Engagement with businesses on appropriate waste handling and recycling practices remains essential to promoting resource recovery and reducing the volume of waste requiring final disposal.


The intervention underscores LAWMA’s commitment to addressing waste collection gaps, supporting cleaner communities and ensuring that commercial and residential areas receive appropriate waste management attention.
