Some people are feared missing as another building collapses in Kenya.
The crumbling down of the building which was under construction at Syokimau, in the Machakos County of Kenya has raised even more questions about the safety of building works in the East African Country.
And this is especially because this new disaster is coming weeks after a deadly building collapse in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area left several people dead and others injured.
Three people have so far been rescued and taken to hospital following the Syokimau incident on Friday, November 13, 2026.
Several are feared missing with only one person being confirmed as he was known.
Search and rescue operations continues, according to the Kenya Red Cross Society.
Some believe that with the ongoing rains, authorities should step into all construction sites and see what can be done to prevent similar occurrences in future.
The incident has also revived concerns about the safety of buildings under construction and whether existing regulations are being effectively enforced to prevent avoidable tragedies.
While the cause of the Syokimau collapse had not been established by the time of publication, the incident comes at a time when the country is still confronting the consequences of the Eastleigh disaster.
According to The People’s newspaper, the Eastleigh tragedy still raises questions
On October 23, 2026 a building under construction collapsed along 9th Street in Eastleigh, trapping people beneath concrete and debris.
The search and recovery operation lasted 15 days, with eight bodies recovered and four people rescued alive, according to the details provided by the rescue operation.
Speaking on Friday, November 6, 2026, operations commander William Sifuna said the multi-agency team had called off the exercise after accounting for those they had been searching for.
“So right now we don’t have any other expected recovery because each and every life that we are looking for, we found the bodies and we found those who are living,” Sifuna said.
