  "account": "Emergency response teams, including those from the Kenya Red Cross and E-Plus ambulances, were dispatched to Nairobi's Riverside area following the collapse of a wall during an excavation on Saturday morning. The extent of the casualties and injuries remains unknown, with the Red Cross stating they are still gathering information. Kileleshwa Member of County Assembly, Robert Alai, stated that the collapse occurred on workers at the site, with several feared to be trapped. He criticized the county administration's oversight, urging responsible officials to face accountability. The incident has exacerbated concerns regarding construction safety and the enforcement of building regulations in Nairobi, following a similar collapse in Machakos County the previous day, which resulted in six deaths and five injuries.",
