Summary

Nairobi is in the rainy season now and nany houses are substandard or built on the area where is known as not safe ground by local goverment. Local military police said ” It was built less than 5m from river, when it should have been at least 30m away”. NCA said ” The building had marked as unfit for habitation”. This fact shows a mistake about local goverment had failed to follow up to national goverment. Most people in Nairobi lives in low-come area or slums so housing is in high demand.

Opinion

“This is not a disaster but a man-made disaster.” I felt so when I first read this article. As the delay of local governmental policy triggered this accident, it is clear that this one is a man-made disaster. The mistake of public institution threatens the safe of public or rejidents and citizens always are sacrificed in accident of man-made one. I want them to do their job as the public institution.
