"I strongly condemn this act of conning struggling residents of the county and taking their money in unreasonable ways. I call Upon Kenya power Company officials from the head office of the county to work with the DCI to ensure that all this are brought to the side of the law to face it." said elder Samwel Kiriago.

He was echoed by the area chief Thomas Maraga that he will stimulate the DCI to take faster actions in collaboration with the KPL company to cub those men who are feeding the sweat of the hardworking Kenyans.

"This is not a simple issue because people are feeding easily on the sweats of hardworking and struggling Citizens of the Republic of Kenya. I promise we must bring them to the field." said the are chief Maraga.
