Kenya Power has rolled out a countrywide campaign to weed out illegal connections and curb theft of electricity. This, the company says undermines the quality of power supply such as illegal power connections, theft of power and vandalism of electricity supply equipment among others. Our main focus is to ensure all power connections to our customers are safe and that the power is provided as required by law,"CEO Bernard Ngugi said. Ngugi said illegal power connections pose a danger of electrocution not just to the beneficiary but the public at large adding that such present a loophole for revenue loss to the Company. Illegal connections are also unsafe as they are not subjected to the required standards and may cause harm or fatalities.
