This follows the attention of NBRB being drawn to the “compression failure of a Reinforced Concrete Column on the 6th floor of Lotis Towers, (a 14-level office Block) on Mackinnon Road, Kampala.”

“A team of Engineers visited the site to conduct a preliminary assessment of the defects on the structure and their effect on the safety of the occupants and the neighbourhood,” said in a statement.

The NBRB notes that despite these defects, the building’s management is in possession of an occupation permit (a document issued clearing a building for fitness of use).
