A deadly accident happened at a building site in Nairobi's Eastleigh area on Tuesday. A scaffold broke apart. One worker died. Two more got hurt.
Maurice Akech leads the National Construction Authority. He said about 20 people were working when the wooden scaffold fell, which also had a timber platform.
The police and construction officials came right away. They stopped all work at the site.
Early clues show the scaffold was put up wrong. It wasn't taken care of well. The workers didn't wear safety gear. They were up high when it happened.
The building project was allowed to proceed. Francis Mwangi Maunji is listed as the developer. Weke S. Omondi is the architect. Alkizim Khalid Omar is the engineer. Brian Otieno Oluoch is the quantity surveyor. Masha Allah Construction Limited is the contractor.
Officials are still looking into what happened. They promised to punish anyone who didn't follow the rules. The public will learn more later.
