The governor has assured the public that internal disciplinary measures will be taken against those who are exposed to the incident while stressing that the city leadership does not agree with the behavior.

“The first thing we have resolved is that all violence will cease, and issues should be resolved in peace. We have instructions to restore water supply in their buildings (KPLC), and remove trucks that were blocking access,” Sakaja added.

The dispute between the Nairobi County government and the Service Company was based on a long -standing issue involving an unpaid electricity bill of KSh 3 billion owed by the City Hall.
