In Nairobi, collapsing towers are a symptom of a 'race for height' among corrupt developers

A construction building in Eastleigh, Nairobi collapsed on October 23, while workers were present, resulting in one confirmed death and eleven missing. Eyewitnesses reported seeing cracks before the collapse, and an investigation is ongoing to determine the cause. Local residents suspect inadequate cement as a contributing factor. Fortunately, many locals were at prayer, which may have reduced casualties.
