The South C Residents Association (SouCRA) has labeled the recent collapse of a 16-storey building in Nairobi's South C area as a "foreseeable and preventable tragedy," attributing it to sustained regulatory failure by the Nairobi City County Government.

• SouCRA, through its Chairman Dr. Abdulmalik Gichuki, stated they have repeatedly raised concerns with the County Government regarding development approvals that violate zoning and density guidelines.
• The association criticized the selective enforcement of laws, where only site workers are arrested while developers, financiers, and professional consultants remain unaccountable.
• SouCRA demands that the County publish the complete approval record of the collapsed building within seven days and calls for an immediate moratorium on new high-rise approvals in South C pending a safety audit.
