Construction authority cracks down on rogue developers

The National Construction Authority (NCA) in Kenya has intensified efforts to crack down on unauthorized construction practices, particularly the addition of extra floors to approved buildings without proper structural assessments. At a recent forum, NCA officials highlighted concerns over unsafe buildings, citing data showing that over 70% of inspected structures are either unsafe or very dangerous. This follows incidents like the collapse of a 16-story building in Nairobi earlier this year, which resulted in multiple fatalities. The NCA warns that violators could face legal action, including deregistration, and emphasizes the risks posed by poor workmanship, unqualified contractors, and substandard materials. These issues have led to significant loss of life and economic damage over the years.
