[ad_1]

Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has suspended its management and designated a new team to take over the leadership of the troubled dispatcher of electricity.

In a press release dated December 3, KPLC noted that the move to dismiss General Managers was reached to pave way for an audit to address the misappropriation of funds at the government entity which has been crippled by graft cases.

“The goal of the forensic audit, which will be done on the procurement systems, stock, and staff is to enhance the robustness of the company’s supply chain processes to anchor them on the principles of value for money, professionalism, and accountability,” Kenya Power.

The Board of Directors on their latest action suspended General Managers for 60 days and constituted a team to act on their capacity while they are on compulsory leave.

Those named to take over are, Aggrey Machasio (General Manager Infrastructure Development), Peter Njenga (General Manager Regional Coordination), Charles Mwaura (General Manager Network Management), Robert Mugo (General Manager ICT), Imelda Bore (General Manager, Legal Services and Regulatory Affairs and Company Secretary).

Kenya Power added that their suppliers will also be involved in the action to smoke out individuals who have been sabotaging its activities for personal gain. The suppliers are set to engage with Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) to reveal their identities to other market regulators.

“All suppliers and persons selling and or supplying electric power or other goods and services to the company above an aggregate of Ksh1 million per month or Ksh12 million annually shall disclose to the company the ultimate beneficial owner of the supplier and or electric power.”
