NASA co-principal and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula has found himself in the dark after Kenya power disconnected power in his residence.
Senator Moses Wetangula was speaking in the Senate on Tuesday.
He decried of molestation from the State-owned KPLC, adding that he had been exorbitantly overcharged.
"Mr Speaker, I have been treated as a criminal by Kenya Power. The electricity supply to my home here in Nairobi has been disconnected just because I questioned why I had to pay a bill of Sh699,000 which I have never paid before.“Wetangula told the House.
Wetangula is one of many customers who has questioned their new power charges.
Power charges have remained high despite President Uhuru Kenyatta promised to lower the cost of energy in his inauguration speech at Kasarani in November last year.
“Over my term, we will grow and sustain this manufacturing sector, and raise its share of the national cake from 9 to 15 percent.To achieve this leap, I have directed that with effect from 1st December 2017, the power tariffs charged to manufacturers will be reduced by 50 percent between the hours of 10:00pm and 6:00am,” the President said.
Early this year, Energy Cs Charles Keter failed to explain on the alleged inflated bills by the state-owned company.
