NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A multi-story building has collapsed outside Kenya’s capital and rescuers are picking through the debris in search of several people reported missing. Kenya’s national broadcaster reports that at least three people died in the collapse in Kirigiti on Monday. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the building to collapse. Such incidents aren’t uncommon in Nairobi and elsewhere in Kenya amid weak oversight, shoddy construction and corruption.
