Kenya Power on Monday said it will move power lines within the Soysambu Conservancy in Nakuru County after the death of three giraffes. In a statement, KPLC said its officials were working together with those of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to replace the electricity poles to prevent electrocution of giraffes within the area. According to KWS, preliminary reports indicated that the height of the electricity poles crossing the area are low below the giraffe’s height.
