Images from the scene show a site of mangled steel and shattered concrete, with several columns left standing while the floors around them have buckled and folded in on themselves.
Reinforcement bars could be seen protruding from the debris, and splintered timber formwork lying scattered beside heaps of hollow concrete blocks.
Kenya Red Cross responders were at the centre of the wreckage, with others picking through the rubble in the background.
The cause of the collapse and the number of workers present on site at the time are yet to be established.
