The counsel asked for an extension since the prosecution required information from different government agencies, to decide whether or not to charge suspects. Police have been given two weeks to complete investigations against five suspects accused of approving the construction of the collapsed six-storey building in Huruma . The building owners were sold the riparian land by a governmental body, and in 2011, subdivided it. The building owners, Samuel Kamau and Henry Muiruri, who are brothers, are being investigated together with three government officials: Chrispas Ndinyo, Justus Kathenge, and Seline Ogallo. The suspects are likely to be charged with murder, manslaughter, giving false information, and aiding in the construction of the building.
