Developer denies building lacked approvals before Nairobi collapse

Blaming paperwork for gravity failures seems like a bold strategy, but Abyan Consulting Limited insists their sixteen-story disaster in South C possessed every necessary permit. Management rejected allegations that the project lacked authorization from local administration or other regulators. They claim the development met all safety standards before construction started.

The firm released a statement dismissing online rumors about missing approvals as misleading. Representatives described shared documents as doctored items designed to confuse the public. They maintain that various agencies cleared the site for mixed-use residential development.

City officials purportedly granted land use planning approval in late 2023. Regulators supposedly sanctioned three extra levels in early 2025 after a separate application. The National Construction Authority issued a compliance certificate previously, while NEMA provided an environmental impact license.

Management offered condolences to families hurt because of the tragedy. The developers thanked multi-agency teams and medical personnel who helped during rescue efforts. Authorities continue investigating exactly what triggered the collapse since no official report exists yet.
