 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - The owner and contractor of a building that collapsed in Kenya's capital, killing at least 14 people, were rushing workers to complete the structure before the concrete on lower levels had set, the government said Tuesday.
"They were not being allowed to spend the normal 21 days to let the concrete set. It was taking much less before they were building another layer," government spokesman Alfred Mutua said. "We have been looking for the owner, the contractor, the superintendent; the people who are directly involved in this."
Police said detectives have opened a criminal investigation and were looking for the building's owner and general contractor.
