Wakazi wa South C waandamana kuhusu jengo lililoporomoka

Mamia ya wakazi wa South C wameandamana amani na kuzuia shughuli za kibiashara wakitaka kukamatwa kwa wanaohusika na kuporomoka kwa jengo la ghorofa 16 lililosababisha vifo vya watu wawili miezi michache iliyopita. Wamewapa serikali muda wa siku saba kushughulikia madai yao kuhusu usalama wa majengo na uwajibikaji wa maafisa. Wanahitaji ripoti za uchunguzi na hatua dhidi ya maafisa wazembe.

Wakazi wa South C, pamoja na viongozi wa jamii na wanaharakati, waliandamana barabarani wakipinga ukosefu wa hatua kufuatia tukio la kuporomoka kwa jengo kwenye Barabara ya Muhoho, ploti nambari 68/1306. Tukio hilo lilitoa maisha ya watu wawili na kuvuruga shughuli za eneo hilo, lakini hakuna mtu aliyekamatwa hadi sasa.

Wakati wa maandamano, wakazi walitoa madai mbalimbali, ikiwa ni pamoja na kuchapishwa kwa ripoti ya uchunguzi ya jengo lililoporomoka na jengo la Bridge Port (LR No. 209/5909/9) lililo karibu. Walitaka uthibitisho wa usalama au amri ya kubomolewa kwa jengo la Bridge Port lenye ghorofa 15, lililoidhinishwa kwa ghorofa 10 na kuwa na uharibifu wa kimuundo kwenye nguzo zake.

Wakazi walimtaka Waziri wa Ardhi na Makazi Alice Wahome kutoa matokeo ya uchunguzi mara moja. Pia walidai majina ya maafisa wa Kaunti ya Nairobi na Mamlaka ya Kitaifa ya Ujenzi (NCA) waliopokea notisi tatu za utekelezaji mnamo 2025 lakini wakaishia uzembe. "Uzembe ni kosa la jinai, na ni wakati wa kuwawajibisha watu binafsi," walisema.

Aidha, walitaka orodha ya watengenezaji wasiofuata sheria na taarifa kuhusu ukaguzi wa majengo tangu Januari 2026, ikiwa ni pamoja na idadi ya majengo yaliyokaguliwa na yaliyo hatarini.
