The Kamukunji MP, Yusuf Hassan, has demanded a parliamentary investigation into the slow response to the Eastleigh building collapse, which has raised concerns over the efficiency of disaster management. Hassan highlighted the dwindling chances of finding survivors and the lack of essential rescue equipment as critical issues.

The collapse, which occurred in Eastleigh, has left local authorities under scrutiny. Hassan emphasized that the delayed rescue operations have exposed systemic weaknesses in Kenya’s emergency response framework. He called for immediate action to improve coordination and resource allocation.

This incident follows a series of similar disasters in Nairobi, where delayed responses have often led to loss of life. Hassan’s call for a parliamentary probe comes amid growing public frustration over the government’s handling of such crises. The MP also reiterated his stance on supporting local traders, urging authorities to treat them as partners rather than targets of harassment. The situation underscores the need for stronger policies to ensure public safety and effective crisis management.
