Electricity distributor Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has disconnected power at musician Nyota Ndogo’s home over a KSh 22,297 bill.
The musician said KPLC officials removed wires from the pole connecting power to the house despite paying the bill via M-Pesa.
She shared a message from Kenya Power indicating she had settled the outstanding amount. “Am I a criminal? I had not seen the note they left behind in the meter. I just realised they removed the wires from the pole after paying my bill. I thought this only affects those people with high bills of over KSh 200,000…The person who did this wanted to show me that even as a celebrity I can sleep in darkness. Or is it you my fans who have cursed me? Please forgive me,” she wrote on Facebook
The note left behind by KPCL read: “Meter number 61990152. Reading: 19098. Disconnected at the pole. Debt, KSh 22, 297. Contact KPLC customer service, Voi.
