The contractor who executed the 11-storey building that was demolished on Wednesday in Mombasa has suffered a fresh blow after Governor Abdulswamad Nassir suspended the construction of 20 high-rise buildings they were working on.

Nassir, however, failed to name the contractor despite questions from the Press.

He said the contractor will solely be held liable for the death of one person, who was trapped in the rubble.
