NAIROBI: More than half of the buildings being put up across the country are not safe for occupation, the National Construction Authority (NCA) has warned.

NCA also says many contractors are still not registering their projects with the authority, in what is adding to the mess in the construction sector, which is in dire need of proper regulation.
