Kenya Power condemns Nairobi county’s “unlawful” garbage dumping at Stima Plaza

Kenya Power has condemned what it calls an “unlawful” and “unprofessional” action by Nairobi County, after county officials dumped garbage at the main entrance of Stima Plaza and blocked access to the building. The move is part of an escalating dispute between the two entities over unpaid electricity bills amounting to KES.3 billion.

According to a statement from Kenya Power, the incident occurred on the morning of February 24, 2025, when county officers, accompanied by armed police, stormed the headquarters, denying access to customers and employees. “The County officers unprecedentedly dumped a truckload of garbage at the main entrance of Stima Plaza and parked two other trucks filled with waste, effectively blocking three other entrances,” Kenya Power stated.

Additionally, officers reportedly clamped and towed 10 Kenya Power vehicles, as well as personal cars belonging to staff and customers, despite the parking fees for the day having been paid. Kenya Power further alleges that several employees were harassed and even arrested, with some sustaining injuries.

The dispute stems from Nairobi County’s outstanding electricity bills, which have accumulated to Kshs.3 billion, with KES.1.3 billion of that amount accruing in the last two years. Kenya Power says it has repeatedly engaged the County Government to resolve the issue. A December 2024 meeting with Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja resulted in a commitment that the county would pay Kshs.60 million toward old debt and KES.50 million for current bills every month.
