Nairobi Woman Representative Esther Passaris has called for the resignation of the entire county planning committee, accusing officials of approving dangerous buildings out of greed.

"We've seen approvals done for greed," Passaris declared as anger mounted over how substandard structures continue receiving official approval despite glaring safety violations.

The Woman Rep made clear that accountability must reach the highest levels of county administration. "We should see resignation of the whole planning committee of Nairobi county," she stated, calling for a wholesale clearing of the deck rather than the sacrifice of junior officers typically offered when scandals break.

"You cannot avoid being culpable when your department is involved," Passaris argued, rejecting the notion that senior officials can hide behind layers of bureaucracy while their subordinates face consequences alone.

Earlier she visited the family of the gentleman whose body was retrieved from the debris today from the collapsed building.
