Grief engulfs South C as rescue teams retrieve the first body from the rubble of a collapsed building, confirming fears that corruption in the construction sector has claimed yet another life.

The agonizing wait for families at the site of the collapsed building in South C, Nairobi, has turned into grief. Rescue teams working through the night have retrieved the lifeless body of one victim from the rubble of the seven-storey structure that came tumbling down on Wednesday.
The recovery confirms the worst fears of the community: that the "unsafe" warnings issued by the National Construction Authority (NCA) were not just bureaucratic red tape, but a prophecy of death. As the excavators dig deeper, the silence from the trapped victims is deafening.
A multi-agency team led by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Disaster Response Unit has been working for over 24 hours. The retrieved body, that of a middle-aged man believed to be a construction worker, was pulled out shortly after 9:00 PM EAT.
This tragedy is a grim reminder of the "concretization of corruption" in Nairobi. Every stone moved by the rescue team exposes not just a broken building, but a broken regulatory system. For the family of the deceased, the cost of cheap housing has been paid in blood.
