The wall of the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Towers on Lumumba Avenue has collapsed killing several people. The site is adjacent to Twed Plaza, the home of Uganda Investment Authority. The wall collapsed on Tuesday around midday forcing police to close half of Lumumba Avenue for a greater part of the day.

There was a house that was next to the collapsed wall that was submerged in the debris. According to witnesses there was a woman washing clothes who is likely to have been swallowed by the debris. Beds, Iron sheets and Mattresses could be seen scattered within the wreckage.

At the time of filing this report five people had been killed and some three rushed to the neighboring hospitals. Red cross vehicles and staff which by default are in the same vicinity were at the site, fire brigade and traffic control were all at the site ensuring that all was safe. The police spokesman, Simeon Nsubuga and the police publicist, Judith Nabakooba were on the site assessing the situation.

The construction of the pension towers is by Roko Construction which by far is a company that has gained reputation not only in Uganda but also neighboring Sudan, Congo and Rwanda. Roko had done some projects before for NSSF like the workers house, one of the latest additions to Kampala's skies. Construction of the building commenced in April 2008 and it was expected to take 18 months.
