The report released this year recorded over 87 cases of collapsed buildings in the last five years. The incident that witnesses say happened so fast left five dead on the spot after the two-storey building collapsed on them. Investigations into the cause of the Tassia building collapse are still ongoing but preliminary reports pointed to poor workmanship. NCA stated that 66 per cent of the building collapsed after completion while 34 per cent collapsed during construction. Nairobi leads in the cases of collapsed buildings at 33, followed by Kiambu at 14.
