Mr Samuel Kamau who is believed to be the owner of the building that collapsed in Huruma estate was charged with 52 counts of manslaughter on Tuesday.
He was also charged with giving false information to get approval for connection of electricity and water to the ill fated building.
He denied the charges and has been detained pending a determination on bail on Wednesday (8th June)
Mr Kamau was also charged with constructing a six-storey building without complying to approval laws.
Four Nairobi county officials are also to be charged over the collapsed building.
The five were absent on Tuesday prompting the prosecution to apply for summonses.
The Director of Public Prosecution requested the court to deny the suspects bond on grounds that they may not honour dates “as the offences they face are serious.”
