Kenya should improve disaster preparedness urgently

The horrific Huruma building collapse, in which 23 people have so far been confirmed dead, has once again exposed Kenya's glaring ineptitude in dealing with disasters.

Four days after the seven-storey building fell to the ground like a deck of cards, rescue workers were still digging through the rubble, hoping against hope to pull another person out alive. Over 60 people are still unaccounted for and most are believed to be buried under the collapsed building.
