(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Kenya's president ordered an audit of all buildings in the capital on Monday after an eight-story residential building collapsed, killing at least two people in the city's second deadly collapse in a month caused by bad construction, AP quoted officials as saying.
In December, eight people died when a building collapsed in Kaloleni, another lower-income area of Nairobi.
'The president is appalled that the building falls in a pattern of many structures across the country, that have been constructed without adherence to the basic laws and regulations governing housing development,' said President Uhuru Kenyatta's spokesman, Manoah Esipisu.
