A multi-storey building has collapsed in Kenya, seven people are missing

Seven people are believed to be trapped under the rubble after a building collapsed in Nairobi, Kenya. The structure was under construction, with several floors already occupied by shops. Concerns have been raised regarding Kenyan building standards and regulations, especially since the building collapsed unexpectedly. The National Construction Authority has identified the company behind the project, along with the architect and structural engineer, but it is unclear if prior inspections were conducted. Nairobi's governor stated that the building owners lacked the necessary permits for occupancy. Such incidents are not uncommon in Nairobi, often attributed to poor construction practices.
