Tenants of two apartment blocks adjacent to one that collapsed in Kericho town have been ordered out.

The National Construction Authority (NCA) and Kericho County government declared the buildings at Tebs View Court that housed 69 tenants unsafe for occupation, following the Tuesday incident in which a seven-year-old boy died.
