THE EASTLEIGH building collapse requires an independent inquiry away from the construction authorities and professional regulatory institutions if we want the truth. Otherwise it is going to be another ugly unending statistic in our long building collapses tragedies.

It is not right to blame the architect and engineer of the collapsed building. Clients take drawings and do construction without the consultants' supervision. That is the problem. Unaambia mtu site inspection ni 25k anaona hio ni simiti kadhaa, they don't call you to inspect.

This was actually done by the National Building Inspectorate after the Huruma building collapse in 2013 and a damning report issued. It is just gathering dust….

We are praying for all those workers trapped in the collapsed building in Eastleigh. The Red Cross is saying they are in communication with them. We hope there will be silver lining to this otherwise sad story.

The Catholic Church operates 8,138 orphanages worldwide, according to the Vatican’s 2026 statistics, making the Catholic community the world’s largest provider of care and social welfare services.

Four Catholic nuns of the Missionaries of Charity were brutally mur*dered by gunmen on March 4, 2016, in Aden, Yemen, while serving the elderly and vulnerable. The Pope honored them as “martyrs of charity.”

And for Elon to own assets in different disciplines and connect the dots like that is crazy.

Cartoon capitalism: A fat man, smoking a cigar, hoarding wealth while workers sweat.
Real world capitalism: An entrepreneur, working crazy hours, risking her own money, to provide goods or services others want, while investing profits back into her business.

Nairobi Housing has always been an income problem. A lot of work went into trying to solve this problem of housing in the 70's & 80's. We never really cracked housing since incomes stagnated along with the gov screwing up the solution that worked.

Motorists in Nairobi usually do not give the right-of-way to pedestrians, so paint is not enough to ensure safety at crossings. We need to incorporate traffic calming to slow down vehicles.
Check out this example of a tabletop crossing from Kisumu.

Kudos @SakajaJohnson for this bold zebra crossings marks along Harambee Ave at the junction with Moi Ave.There is need for more investment in such infrastructures in the CBD to enhance safety of #pedestrians.
