Government should take stringent legal action against bogus contractors

Due to the mushrooming Real estate businesses in urban areas, bogus contractors have resulted to crooked means of "fetching" money from magnate landlords  by doing shoddy jobs.

  Storey buildings are not been granted the stipulated time they should due to thirsty tenants and egocentric owners who are in dire search of money. How can a storey building be booked before the construction even commences? I term this as crazy actually. Though not a contractor, i know that the duration of the construction of one floor should be approximately two months, but this is not the case.

Last year  i witnessed a four- storey building completed in  four months at Kisii county. This was propelled by the increased number of hasty tenants. This left me astonished because the building was not given ample time to dry.
In April, a building collapsed at Roysambu while still under construction. Three occupants lost their lives while others were saved from the rubble.

On Wednesday evening,  a shopping mall crushed at Manyatta estate Kisumu . The building was in it's final stages of completion and its collapse simply revealed how shoddy the job was done.

Around 30 people were allegedly trapped in the debris, with 15 escaping with serious wounds.  For how long will we remain victims of these malicious contractors? The government should take stern legal actions against such "gluttonous" persons inorder to save innocent Kenyans from perishing in such mayhem. Am cock sure this will help to improve the durability and stability of storey buildings.
