The National Construction Authority (NCA) has launched nationwide inspections targeting high-risk buildings and unauthorized constructions due to growing concerns over safety violations and unapproved structures.

• Inspections are focused on buildings failing to meet safety and construction standards, with some projects reportedly handled by unqualified individuals and occurring without proper approvals.
• The NCA is developing a new building inspection manual based on the National Building Code 2024, supported by the World Bank.
• This crackdown follows several recent building collapse incidents across the country, particularly in Nairobi, which have resulted in fatalities and injuries.
