Stop empty rhetoric and act on negligent building agencies

Building collapses in Kenya is well-documented in various task force reports gathering dust on shelves. Forget the recent tongue-in-cheek talk from various leaders after the Precious Talent School tragedy. We have been accustomed to such political promises after such incidences.

From Huruma building collapse, to Kware-Embakasi, Kisii etc, this is a road we have painfully walked before to the drums of empty rhetoric. As is the norm, the very agencies mandated to carry out oversight are the first at the scene to be surprised by the state of the tragedy like all of us.
