Civil engineers will begin inspecting the collapsed Mombasa Cement Factory's Silo at Takaungu Kilifi next week to establish the cause of the accident that killed one person and injured scores three weeks ago. They are expected to conduct thorough investigations and come up a report on what could have led to the collapse of the silo.
Detectives have finished recording statements with the workers and the debris has been cleared to ease work for the engineers. Kilifi police boss Clement Wangai said the the environment is now conducive for the government engineers to work. "The government engineers are set to start their operations next week because the detectives have already accomplished their work what remains is to get the experts report to be able to know the real cause of the collapsed silo," he said.
Work stopped at the factory on the day it collapsed and more than 1000 workers have been sent away. Sources said it could take up to two years for the facility to be repaired as it involves a lot of technical works. Since the accident occurred the management has been not disclosed any information to the media which has raised a lot of questions.
