Lake View MCA Simon Wanyoike Wanango examines one of the street-light boxes vandalised in Kayole Estate, Naivasha. [Antony Gitonga, Standard]Residents are fearing for their safety as several estates have been plunged into darkness following vandalism of street lights. The law states that a person shall not deal in scrap metal, unless that person has a licence issued by the council and is a member of Scrap Metal Dealers Association. Members of the county assembly are now accusing scrap metal dealers for the rise in the cases that have affected Kayole, Kihoto, Site, Kabati and Lakeview estate. According to Lake View MCA Simon Wanyoike Wanango, the county had lost millions of shillings this financial year due to the vandalism that targeted the street lights.
