According to Onkangi, the MP had illegally connected the power into his house in Kajiado which is under construction
The MP was heard telling the KPLC officials that there is no time for bribes before connecting power to Kenyans
“The time of bribe taking is over, I will not allow that to any other Kenyan before supplying electricity,” Mbai posed furiously
While in the statement of KPLC from General Manager Human Resource and Administration, Ms Cecilia Kalungu, they vowed to protect their employees’ rights
“We assure our employees that the company will take necessary action and support to our staffs including the security support when needed,” Kalungu said.
KPLC said they will ensure justice for their employee is served and will not allow any other attempts to deter them from doing what according to them is right
