The county government has put Kakamega town residents on high alert over possibility of condemned buildings collapsing.

 Housing executive Alfred Matianyi said the collapse of a five-storey building in Jua Kali estate could be the beginning of adversities.

Matianyi said the ill-fated house was among several other buildings whose construction had been stopped by the county government due to violation of construction regulations.

The owner of the building has gone into hiding since the incident.
