The saga surrounding the war between the Nairobi County Government and Kenya Power, which trades under the KPLC ticker on the Nairobi Stock Exchange, has taken a new twist as more governors have come forward to take sides.
Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Sherrif Nassir on Thursday, February 27 boldly backed his Nairobi counterpart Johnson Sakaja amid a spate of criticisms over how Nairobi County handled their feud with the power company.
According to the Mombasa County boss, they have also been in similar situations to other state agencies over pending bills, resulting in extreme action. "The position of all governors is that wayleaves is a county function and if their job is to bring power, they shouldn't hop on roles which are not theirs.
It is too much." the governor said.
