Erick Onyango is still pained by an error of judgment which he blames for the tragedy that befell his family.

His two-year-old son, Desmond, died while his daughter Blessing Atieno, four, and his 13-year-old niece Caroline Auma are among those missing following the collapse of a seven-storey building in Huruma, Nairobi, on Friday night.
