Another building comes tumbling down

This is it...Let us enforce the existing rules.
The people who approved the site for a nine storey building on a reclaimed marsh (nimeona kwa news that the place was marshy until they dumped soil from Thika Highway construction!) and those who gave stage by stage approvals should also face the law.
 
As a real estate developer never ever trust a professional in your building ,consult but never trust them,nyumba kama hio iko kwa unstable soil ilikuwa inataka pier foundation

I am not sure if you were serious making the above statement but I have come across quite a few of the so called professionals who are no better than a common fundi. If you want to build something, educate yourself for every stage of the building process first. My findings: Kenyan professionals hate educated clients.

I will pardon your ignorance.
We want to follow rules, but the system makes them unfollowable (sic).

Have you ever tried to do anything legitimately? Including paying your taxes? It's like the systems are designed to frustrate you to non-adherence

Unfortunately, sometimes I succumb to buying my time rather than follow rules that make no sense.

I have and it's really tricky because the staff in govt offices will frustrate you into bribing them.
To be honest having lived in and out of KE, all govts are almost the same in some aspects.
Your experience will be based on the attitude of the govt workers, in our case, corrupt workers make life a living hell for us.
These days things aren't as bad as back then, huduma center as a case in point.
If this model can be replicated in county offices, things will be easier in my opinion..

What will happen in that period. There are quality control laws in place but shida ni enforcement.

I have it on good authority that Kíambu County sabotaged a very good (online) buildings approval process that was installed for them by the World Bank. How, you ask? By requiring that the developers submit, at the very final step, rubber-stamped documents. Need I say any more?
