Video: girl rescued from rubble in Kenya

A multi-story building collapsed outside Kenya's capital Monday, resulting in the death of a woman and two children.

Four people were rescued, including a child, after the collapse in Kirigiti, said Kiambu county Governor. Kimani Wamatangi. But “we know that there is a man and his wife, and most likely there will be a child, inside there.”

“The building that was constructed here was made in a substandard way,” the governor said.

“This guy built without authorization. He came and applied for permission, he was told to comply with a few conditions, he disappeared, continued to build.” he further added

Such building collapses aren't uncommon in Nairobi and elsewhere in Kenya amid weak oversight, shoddy construction and corruption.
