City Hall orders demolition of photoshopped building in Kayole


The Nairobi county government has ordered the demolition of a seven-storey building along Kayole Spine Road, Nairobi.

A photo of the ‘visibly faulty’ structure at Bee Centre, Umoja was widely shared on social media after someone ‘added’ two more floors on it and posted it online.

According to a demolition notice dated November 9, the owner was ordered by City Hall to bring it down and was also asked to submit the structural integrity report on the same within seven days.

“You are hereby required to stop further construction immediately and submit architectural and structure plant,” reads part of the notice, which has since elapsed.
