Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka wants answers, and he wants them now. The Wiper Patriotic Front leader has spoken out following the collapse of an incomplete multi-storey building in Eastleigh, Nairobi, calling for full accountability from those responsible for the disaster.
Kalonzo made clear that no one should be shielded from liability, regardless of their position or connections. His statement points to a frustration many Nairobians share: that powerful interests too often walk away clean when buildings come down and lives are upended.
Eastleigh has long been one of the city's most densely developed neighborhoods, and questions about construction oversight in the area are not new. This latest collapse puts those concerns squarely back on the table.
Whether Kalonzo's call translates into real consequences for those responsible remains to be seen. Nairobi has heard these demands before.
