Precious Talent Academy owner, Moses Wainaina, on Monday, claimed that the Nairobi County Government might have played a part in the collapse of a classroom in the school.
Wainaina stated that the county administration dug a sewer line behind the classrooms which weakened their foundations.
He acknowledged that it was a good intention from the county government to contain sewerage but unfortunately an accident happened as a result of their efforts.
“They had good intentions to help this school but an accident has happened,” he stated.
