Speaking to a local radio station was Tom Odongo, executive in charge of Housing and Planning where he defended the Kenya government against accusations that they are not doing enough to ensure buildings in Nairobi are structurally sound.
Odongo, said the responsibility of ensuring that a building is safe for habitation lies with the developer and the inhabitants.
The Kenyatta National Hospital recorded a total of 28 casualties: 12 male and 16 female with 25 patients treated and discharged.
