Kenya Power has denied claims it disconnected supply at Milimani Law Courts on Tuesday during its bosses’ bail hearing.
The court adjourned due to lack of natural light at the premises but supply was eventually restored.
The power firm said the disruption must have resulted from an electric fault at the court.
In a statement via Twitter, Kenya Power said: “There has not been a blackout at the courts as reported by a section of the media. Our technical team has confirmed that electricity to the court is on and that the outage may have been occasioned by internal wiring.”
Kenyans on Twitter did not take Kenya Power’s claim lightly and accused it of misleading the public.
Robert Basweti said they were using generators while David Ngure said no sane Kenyan could believe the “public relations stunt”. He said KPLC needsan overhaul.
Omar Bond wrote: “Those arraigned in court are pretty powerful and well-connected, as we can see.”
