Auditor General Nancy Gathungu has raised concerns over the safety of a building project being undertaken by the State Department for Trade and Enterprise Development. “…the second basement floor of the project was overflowing with water from underground. The Management explained that the water was pumped out regularly to avoid overflows,” Gathungu said in her report. The assessment found that 10,791 of the buildings were very unsafe and either needed to be demolished or reinforced before occupation. In the report, the State Department for Trade was further cited for lack of ownership documents for parcels of land in South C, Nairobi.
