The Institution of Engineers of Kenya (IEK) has directed residents of three apartment blocks at Karibu Homes in Athi River to vacate immediately due to significant structural cracks.

• Residents of Blocks M, N, and P must leave until repairs are completed.
• The IEK cited widening cracks first noticed in 2019, differential settlement, and issues with stormwater drainage near foundations.
• This directive follows a site visit by IEK engineers and comes amid growing concerns about building safety in Kenya, particularly with the approaching El Niño season.
