The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has arrested a Kenya Power
employee alongside an alleged accomplice for reportedly soliciting and
receiving a bribe to reconnect electricity to a residential property.
According to EACC, the arrest followed a complaint lodged
with the Commission on May 28th, 2026, by a resident whose
electricity supply had allegedly been disconnected two days earlier.
Investigations reportedly established that Gerald Nyaoke, a
technician attached to the Kenya Power Donholm Office, demanded Ksh 30,000 from
the complainant in exchange for restoring power supply.
Following the complaint, EACC detectives mounted an
operation to monitor and document interactions between the complainant and the
suspects.
The operation culminated in the arrest of the suspects
shortly after the alleged bribe exchange.
The two were later escorted to the Integrity Centre for
further processing and investigations.
EACC has reiterated its commitment to fighting corruption and urged members of the public to continue reporting cases involving bribery, extortion, and abuse of office.
