Man Dies After Five-Storey Building Under Construction Collapses in Ogembo - September 2026

A five-storey building currently under construction in Ogembo has tragically collapsed, resulting in the death of at least one person, with a separate report confirming that a man died after a building he was inside collapsed in Ogembo, Kisii. Heavy rains are suspected to have contributed to the structure's collapse in this Kisii County incident. The Kenyan government, through the Ministry of Health, is intensifying preparations to mitigate the anticipated impacts of El Niño, which may bring increased rainfall patterns. The Department of Weather Forecasting has confirmed that El Niño has already begun to take effect, raising concerns about infrastructure stability across affected regions.
