However, two days search has failed to turn up any human beings trapped in the collapsed building.
The building plan owned by Patrick Bashishaki was approved in 2015 on Plot 641 block 257 Gava Road Munyonyo for a two level building.
Last month KCCA engneers inspected the site and found that they had altered the plan and added another level. KCCA issued an order for them to halt construction but the owner was ignored it and continued construction at night and during weekends.
