Workers escape death after mall collapses

About 30 workers escaped death after a mall they were building in Kisumu collapsed last week. The building had reached the second floor and the workers were having lunch when it caved in.

According to sources from the County Government of Kisumu, investigations have started to determine why the building collapsed and if the developers got the necessary approvals. With cases of collapsed buildings across the country on the rise, there has been considerable pressure on authorities to monitor the situation in the construction industry.
