The controversy turned out to be worse recently after the county dumped rubbish and sewage at Kenya Power Stima Plaza headquarters in Nairobi.
Kenya Power has now taken legal action against the administration headed by Johnson Sakaja.
In a petition submitted under an emergency certificate, Kenya Power has called the move to be cruel and human.
The company, in the court documents seen by TUKO.co.ke said that the waste had affected the health of their employees. It also accused the county of illegally grabbing their 10 vehicles.
“… the actions of the respondents, which are cruel and humanitarian, have revealed more than 4,000 staff members of the complainants and innocent tenants placed in the complainant's buildings and also the general public for serious health problems,” Kenya Power said in a request.
The company has also opposed the decision by the Nairobi County government to cut water in its Stima Plaza offices.
It says that the decisions have left hundreds of its employees and tenants including medical clinics, financial institutions, law companies, insurance agencies to count losses and frustration.
Did the trash out of the plaza's electricity be removed?
However, the Nairobi County government through attorney Duncan Okatch argued that the trucks were removed on Tuesday night, February 25, and that a meeting chaired by the Public Service Chief Felix Kosgei would help resolve the matter.
“The court will give instructions at three o'clock at night,” Judge Anne Omollo said.
What orders does Kenya Power seek in the case against Nairobi County?
Kenya Power Company wants among other things to force the county to collect and remove garbage at the gate of their Stima Plaza office and the removal of trucks and vehicles that prevent them from entering and exiting the buildings.
The company also wants the declaration to be issued that Nairobi County's actions and actions violated the constitution and violated their basic rights.
