The supply was cut off, and an independent inspection confirmed the unmetered consumption.

The utility added that the customer signed documents acknowledging the finding and was subsequently billed for the unrecorded usage, with a flexible repayment arrangement offered.

Kenya Power said those agreed terms have not been met and that its team remains open to further engagement.
