18 Kenya Power officials among them five senior managers have been questioned in connection with the recent nationwide power outage.
The Tuesday blackout was attributed to the collapse of four towers on the Nairobi-Kiambere high voltage power transmission line.
The grilling of Kenya Power officials comes after preliminary investigations pointed to vandalism at the scene of the collapsed towers.
Some of those questioned include Engineer Raphael Ndolo Kimeu, who is the acting general manager of network management at Kenya Power, Engineer George Korir Kipkoech (the chief engineer, transmission), Geoffrey Kigen Kipkurui (the head of countrywide management security service), Peter Kithusia (the chief security officer in charge of Nairobi region) and Anthony Gathii Charamba, a technician along Juja road.
Investigators who visited the scene of the collapsed lines at Imara Daima on Thursday said the basement of the four angle towers of Kenya the Power high voltage power line had been vandalized and the cross beams removed and unbolted.
The country has experienced three major power outages as a result of collapsed power transmission lines between December 4th last year and January 11th.
