Kenya Power Announces Power Outages in 2 Counties on Tuesday

Kenya Power has announced planned power interruptions scheduled for Tuesday, November 11, affecting parts of Nairobi and Kirinyaga counties.

In a notice on Monday, November 10, the company said the outages are meant to facilitate scheduled maintenance works.

For Nairobi, the affected areas include NHC Langata, Southlands Estate, Langata Hospital, Akiba Estate, Langata, Civil Servants Langata, Rubia Estate, Uhuru Gardens, and adjacent customers. 

The interruption will occur between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

In the Mt. Kenya region, parts of Kirinyaga County will also experience a power outage within the same timeframe. 

The affected areas include Gitwe Primary, Gitwe Kiarura, Kona Mbaya, and adjacent customers.

Notably, this comes weeks after Kenya Power cautioned the public against falling victim to fraudulent job advertisements circulating online.

In an update on Tuesday, October 21, the company said the fake job notices, which bear the Kenya Power logo and appear official, invite applicants to submit their details via suspicious email addresses.

The company noted that the fake advertisements promise various employment opportunities across the country.

According to the falsified letters, the scammers are offering positions such as Machine Technician, Electrical Technician, Financial Accountant, Customer Care Representative, Store Manager, Data Entry Clerk, Drivers, Cleaners, and Interns.

"Fake. Beware of fraudsters,” reads a red warning boldly stamped across the falsified documents.

Prior to that, Kenya Power had issued a public warning against fraudsters circulating fake transformer lease forms.

In an update on Monday, March 10, the company cautioned customers to be vigilant and avoid falling victim to fraudulent schemes.

The fraudulent document mimics Kenya Power’s official paperwork and falsely claims to be an official lease agreement between the company and landowners for transformer installation.

“Beware of fraudsters #UsikubaliConmen #KaaRada,” Kenya Power wrote on social media platform X.
