A multi-storey building collapsed in the capital of Kenya, three were injured

At least three people were killed when a high-rise building collapsed in Nairobi, and rescuers are still searching for the missing.

One woman and two children were killed, and four people were rescued, said Kiambu County Governor Kimani Wamatangi.

"We know that there is a man and his wife and probably a child under the ruins," he told the media, adding that the building was built illegally and that the investor did not respect the rules of the local authorities.

Building collapses occur in Kenya due to poor supervision of works and corruption.
