Kiogoro residents Kisii county residents have raised concern of increased illegal power connections in the area which are negatively affecting their businesses and inconveniencing them.
They are now calling upon Kenya Power to conduct a crackdown to root out the illegal power connections in the area.
“We stay in the dark most of the time because of some selfish individuals who are only interested in getting free power," said Joshua Ombicha a resident.
"We are even worried of our own safety at the hands of such individuals,” he added.
They claim electric faults are common which renders the place dark most of the time.
“I run a business which requires power. My fridge has to be on to sustain my milk but most times I am forced to pour spoilt milk not because of Kenya Power failure but because of some individuals who connect power illegally causing all the problems," said Thomas Nyambane.
"Stern action should be taken against them immediately,” he added.
They now want Kenya Power to respond urgently.
