Tension has gripped Kenya Power employees after they were ordered to present their financial and assets records.
Through a statement by the General Manager-in-charge of Human Resource and Administration, Cecilia Kalungu, each worker and their couple must have financial documents such as bank and Mpesa statements for the last six months.
The staff were further notified that they would be required to provide more information, and the process would start on Monday, November 22.

"You are notified to provide information on club membership, social media accounts or handles and list liabilities including loans, mortgages, chattels, guarantees, school fees, and school accounts, cumulative insurance policies and holidays," the statement read in part.
Kalungu stated that those outside Nairobi city would be required to submit their documents to their respective human resource departments.
The move is an ongoing plan that is part of the lifestyle audit to help curb fraudulent activities at the state facility marred with corruption.
This is after President Uhuru Kenyatta appointed a task force chaired by Industrial and Commercial Development Corporation (ICDC) boss John Ngumi to look into the troubles that have seen the parastatal declare a loss totalling KSh2.98 billion in the last financial year.
In addition to the lifestyle audit, the task force recommended that the employers of Kenya Power be vetted afresh based on integrity, qualification and suitability for the positions they are currently holding.
