Why Buildings Collapse in Kenya

A building is a complex engineered structure that exists because of human planning, design and construction processes. When a building collapses, as we have seen in recent tragedies such as the South C and Karen incidents in Nairobi, the collapse is not an isolated event but a symptom of deeper corruption in Kenya’s construction ecosystem. These failures reflect systemic issues in regulatory systems, oversight practices and professional accountability rather than random accidents.
