Nimrod Mbai, a Kitui East MP, allegedly attacked KPLC official Julius Onkangi on Monday (July 3rd) in Kitengela after accusing him of tearing down electric poles leading to the lawmaker's residence.
In a widely circulated video, Mbai can be seen addressing the KPLC employees at his Kitengela residence and even accusing them of allegedly expecting bribes before providing energy to Kitengela residents.
He said in the video, "The time of accepting bribes is over, and I will not permit you to do that to any other Kenyan before supplying electricity." Later, the MP defended himself by claiming that KPLC staff members had broken into his home.
"I was defending myself from the intruders. I had to defend myself. The viral video you're referring to was manipulated to solely include me retaliating, said the MP.
But the footage appears to show the MP punching the KPLC officer first, and it also demonstrates that the official did not strike back.
The MP claimed that the KPLC personnel had put off putting in power at his Kitengela residence, so he decided to contact their director in Nairobi.
He said that "engineers were sent to my house and they did the job" after he spoke with the directors in Nairobi.
But Mr Julius Onkangi asserted that the MP's house's electricity was installed unlawfully and that no experts from outside Kitengela could be hired without consulting them because he is in charge of the area.
KPLC security and two regular police officers from Kitengela police station had accompanied Onkangi to the MP's home.
The KPLC officials claimed that the MP's home was surrounded by numerous unauthorized electric power connections. No police officer intervened when the MP allegedly began assaulting the KPLC official, raining blows on the official's neck while the MP's pistol was allegedly openly displayed from the back of his pants.
In order to prevent service theft, the MP claimed President William Ruto has instructed KPLC workers to provide meters wherever they discover unauthorized connections.
The MP said, "Instead of doing the same, these people are busy tearing down their electric poles and demanding bribes."
