Preliminary Findings into Holy City Church Building Collapse
How it fell:
The building first leaned and tipped over, bringing down the entire structure. One person died, and 25 people were injured.
What was being built:
It was a four-level building extension (ground floor plus three floors above) attached to the existing church hall. Under the building rules, it is a Class A building, which means it requires the highest level of approval and professional oversight.
How it was built:
The new extension was made of reinforced concrete (concrete with steel bars inside). It was joined to the older church hall, which is a steel-frame structure.
Stage of work:
The structure was complete, and workers were carrying out final finishing works, including laying terrazzo floors, when it collapsed.
Possible design problems:
Some concrete beams were very large, measuring up to 60 cm by 60 cm, and some stretched more than 6 metres without support. This points to possible problems with the building's design.
Steel bars in the floors:
The steel bars inside the concrete floors were of different sizes and were spaced unevenly. This weakens a floor.
Legal status of the building:
No building permit or approved drawings were found on site.
Workmanship:
The columns, beams and floors were uneven and irregular in shape. This suggests poor workmanship and a lack of supervision by a qualified professional.
No safety measures:
No site safety measures were observed in place.

Fellow Kenyans, our economic problem is corruption and wastage.
Billions of hard-earned tax-payers money stolen in broad-daylight.
Fellow Kenyans, you know me well.
When I say my government will have zero tolerance to corruption. I mean it.

Transparency, Accoubtability, sustainable development. The #LindaMwananchiMovement promise is to make all project contracts available to the public in conformity with these three Constitutional Values. We all know why the Ruto regime hides these agreements. From Bomas to Talanta to Rironi highway to Lamu refinery, we are being robbed blind.

I passed by their shop and noticed that they have some wonderful door products. Promote them. I’m not in any way related to them so please do your due diligence.
I’ve read it somewhere and I’m for it that a man in love is a danger to himself and people around him.
Contractors around, who knows of a community where professional contractors interact and share their experiences? Any leads will be greatly appreciated.
The performance of Manchester United is incredible. Good in controlling the ball, accurate passes and improved shots on target. Everyone is happy, I am happy. They must keep the consistency.
Using photos of a dead man to advertise a rally is a new low. Let the dead rest @TheODMparty @UDAKenya

This video is a call for help.
My mum is battling with stroke, and it is slowly taking her life. She needs urgent medical funds to stay alive, and I cannot do this alone anymore. Please, if you have it in your heart to help or retweet this to someone who can, I beg of you 🤲🏻🙏
So irresponsible. Foul language shouldn’t be an option.
