Drama as Nairobi County dumps garbage at Stima Plaza over Ksh3B debt

Drama unfolded at Kenya Power’s Stima Plaza in Nairobi’s Ngara area after the Nairobi County government staff dumped heaps of garbage in front of the offices.

The standoff affected service delivery for the better part of the morning with officials enduring a foul stench for hours.

Kenya Power’s General Manager in charge of Commercial Services and Sales, Eng. Rosemary Oduor stated that the action was in response to a long-standing dispute over an unpaid debt of Ksh3 billion owed by the county government to the power utility.

She claims that power at City Hall was restored on Friday, adding that Kenya Power has been in talks with the county over the bills for the past two years, during which it committed to make payments.

The County government is yet to issue a response to the enforcement action.
