Kenya Power has warned Kibera residents that it will conduct an inspection of its electricity lines in Gatwekera and Laini Saba as it seeks to curb illegal connections.
On Friday, Kenya Power spokesman Migwi Theuri said in his office that it is important to conduct the inspection to ensure the safety of residents and also educate its customers on safe use of electricity.
It is noted that houses in Kibera have not been wired correctly with electricity leading to frequent fires which have resulted in loss of property.
"It is important that houses are well equipped with a certified KPLC electricity meter and correct wiring to avoid dangers," said Theuri.
He also added that the company looks forward to adding more street lights in a project that seeks to boost security in informal settlements.
Kibera is notorious in tapping of electricity where a number of people have lost their lives while trying to connect power for their tenants.
Theuri urged residents to comply with KPLC terms and conditions in order to be safe and have reliable energy.
