Police drama in Naivasha as angry residents protest KPLC over alleged frustration.

Tension reportedly gripped Naivasha after a group of angry residents took to the streets to protest against Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), accusing the electricity distributor of frustrating them over an ongoing dispute.

The protests, which reportedly attracted a large number of demonstrators, drew the attention of police officers who were deployed to monitor the situation and maintain law and order.

The protesters, said to be predominantly members of the Kikuyu community, expressed their dissatisfaction with the handling of the matter, accusing KPLC of subjecting them to difficulties and demanding urgent intervention.

During the demonstrations, some residents reportedly raised concerns about the alleged involvement of Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika in the dispute, claiming that her actions or association with the matter had contributed to their frustrations.

However, the specific allegations against the governor have not been independently established, and it remains unclear whether KPLC has officially responded to the accusations.

The demonstrations have placed fresh attention on the relationship between local residents, county leadership and the electricity distributor, particularly over issues affecting ordinary households and businesses.

Police officers remained on hand to monitor developments as the situation unfolded, although details surrounding possible arrests, injuries or property damage were not immediately available.

Further information is expected to clarify the root cause of the disagreement, the protesters’ specific demands and whether authorities will intervene to resolve the dispute.
