Audit: Kenya Power Demands Bank, MPesa Statements and Social Media Accounts of 10,000 Employees

Audit: Kenya Power Demands Bank, MPesa Statements and Social Media Accounts of 10,000 Employees

Over 10,000 Kenya Power employees have been given until November 22nd to declare their financial and asset records.

The move is part of an ongoing lifestyle audit aimed at curbing fraud at the State-run power utility company that has been dogged by corruption scandals for years.

Kenya Power Human Resource General Manager in a memo asked employees to submit certified copies of their financial records including bank account and mobile money statements for the last six months. 

They are also required to give details of their residential addresses over the past five years, the ownership status of current residence, power and water meter numbers, and list immediate family members, business associates, agents, and associations.

The workers are further expected to present a list of all movable and immovable assets they own, stocks and shares, three-year income-tax returns receipts, social media handles, and a list of liabilities.

“Please note that the above list is not conclusive and that you may be required to present additional information, as may be deemed necessary,” part of the memo reads.

The move comes barely two weeks after 59 senior Kenya Power procurement officers were sent home to pave way for an audit of its supply chain division.

Kenya Power board also announced it will be seeking powers from its shareholders at its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on December 3rd to seize the assets of employees found to have defrauded the company in the ongoing audit that also features former executives.

World Bank ain't playing games. Anti corruption measures should be routine in every institution and agency. Corruption is everywhere if you just follow the money

They SHOULD also be REQUIRED to give details of their residential addresses over the past TWENTY FIVE years (NOT 5yrs), the ownership status of current residence, power and water meter numbers, and list immediate family members, business associates, agents, and associations. Samuel Gichuru included🤗.

I hope this requirement applies to WSR! We need his MPESA account so we can recover every money Ruto steals!

Can we have CS Keter audited? He was the point man for WSR’s corruption in Kenya power! He stole everything and left Kenya power broke on its knees!

The judges who have been involved in Kenya power corruption are now drafting a illegal note to fight this transparency move! The judges and lawyers have vowed that destroy our dear country with corruption! The judiciary has bee bought by WSR to destroy Kenya! What a boomer?

Taming corruption will only succeed if fought from the TOP.In this case Porridge(Gichuru) & Okemo must be surrendered to the Virgin Islands to face money laundering charges.UPUUZI TUPU if thug Uhuru can chase drivers and technicians while the two gangsters are housed at state house for fear of being adapted by makamburu wazungu.The electricity problems will only be solved by removing monopoly of KPLC.Let makamburu wazungu enter the power sector and solve the problem at once the way SAFARICOM & others did to phone industry even if it means eliminating all the elite thugs who EAT KPLC.

That messy divorce was a blessing in disguise. How greedy can one get? Africans can’t be corrupt on their own. It takes two to tango. How can a company with such a monopoly said to be broke?That explains it. Corruption on a massive scale and across international borders. A lot of this money could have been used to expand the company and cater for employees’ welfare. And misguided electorates will vote for a major thief. People will reap what they sow.

Samuel Gichuru, whom throughout Mwizi Mois 24 years rule, said little or nothing at all, but gave out huge chunk of KPLC wealth to Mois meaningless harambees to cover up what he was doing in the background.He would spice up what he would give moi and dead Biwott with what he would forcebly deduct from our payslips. In the early eighties, the then Kenya Power company(which was generating electricity), and KPLC(the distribution wing), bought over 60 mitsubishi pajeros, which were to be used by Canadian engineers and artisans for use when they were drilling wells at Olkaria geothermal Power station, Naivasha. They were all KACs with ascending serial numbers. Samuel annexed one pajero to be used by his wife Rongai, Nakuru, where he had just bought 600 hectares from corrupt Mama Ngina Kenyatta. It was at the same time that he bought more 200 toyota land cruisers whose remnants are can still be seen todate at Kengen and KPLC. The only legacy and culture that Gichuru left at KPLC, Kengen and GDC or Geothermal Development Company was how to steal with precision by leaving no traceable marks. The big elephant in the room is, even to a foolish fool, how can you monopolize a business and claim its a dying horse? It is Kenya and Kenyans where thievery is a very common phenomenon.
