Construction worker dies following wall collapse

One person died and two others were seriously injured when a wall bordering a building under construction collapsed in Kahawa Wendani, Nairobi County.

The wall, according to witnesses, collapsed at 11 a.m on Tuesday. According to one of the survivors, the victims were working on the site when the wall fell on them.

Area MCA Cyrus Omondi attributed the accident to a weak wall which collapsed due to the excavations next to it. The MCA said there may have been about 100 people working at the site at the time of the disaster.

The dead and the injured have been taken to Thika Level 5 Hospital.

The owner of the property was however not available even as rescue operations by the Kenya Red Cross still went on. The owner of the building is currently being sought by the police and county planning team and is likely to face charges.
