Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has finally addressed the ongoing financial dispute between the Nairobi County Government and Kenya Power after their feud played out in public earlier this week.
Speaking at a press conference, Sakaja declared an end to the dispute, stating that an amicable solution had been reached following a meeting with Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi and Head of Public Service Felix Koskei.
According to Sakaja, the issue has persisted for years, with the county government claiming KSh 4.9 billion from Kenya Power, while Kenya Power had counterclaims amounting to KSh 3 billion against the county. "We've had a fruitful meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Energy, the Head of Public Service, and other officers, and we agreed on several issues.
A joint statement will be issued to clarify the matters we have resolved," Sakaja said.
