According to Murang’a County Police Commander Donatha Kiplangat, a multi-agency team was dispatched minutes after the building came tumbling down on Friday.
Transport and Infrastructure Cabinet Secretary James Macharia had updated Kenyans that the building led to one more person dying while undergoing treatment, bringing deaths to six.
The CS stated that authorities were looking for all the people involved in the construction of the building and that they faced the full wrath of the law.
“The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has already started the process of hunting down all the professionals concerned both at the National government and at the county level,” said CS Macharia.
