Two Lives Lost at a Condemned Construction Site in Parklands.

Tragedy struck in Parklands when two people lost their lives at a condemned construction site. The building had already been marked as unsafe, but work continued behind the scenes. This heart-breaking event has left families grieving and raised serious questions about how such risks are allowed to continue unnoticed.

One key issue is the lack of traceability in the construction sector. Traceability means being able to track who owns a building, who approved it, who is working on it and whether it meets safety rules. If proper systems were in place, it would be easier to stop illegal work, hold the right people accountable and prevent such disasters before they happen.

   

This tragedy is a wake-up call. Kenya needs stronger systems to monitor construction projects from start to finish. With better traceability, lives can be saved, and trust can be restored in the way our cities grow.
