Kenya Power officials who are currently on ground in Pipeline Estate in Embakasi say the area risks power shortage if a wall of Taj Mall facing a power line will be brought down.
They have cited that the wall imposes danger if it hits the electric line, and also risks power loss in areas along Mombasa road whose main power supply comes from the line at Taj Mall.
One of the officers noted that they have been camping at the area to ensure that the electricity is switched off once the excavator reaches the wall to prevent dangers fire.
The demolition of Airgate Centre formerly Taj Mall that started on Saturday is being conducted by the National Youth Service.
The multi billion building is said to have been built on a road reserve, the claims that the owner Ramesh Gorasia denied citing that the building was dully approved by the relevant authorities before it was put up.
Pipeline residents now claim that they risk flu as the police continue to lob teargas in their environments in the efforts to prevent looters from accessing the mall.
Ramesh on Saturday called upon the government to investigate the officers who took part in the approvals of the Building.
President Uhuru Kenyatta cited that all the officers who took part in making approvals to illegal buildings will be investigated and prosecuted.
