Ketraco acting Managing Director Anthony Wamukota is a sleazy man who has captured the govt agency.
According to sources, Mr Wamukota who is keen to succeed the equally corrupt Fernandes Barasa, is said to own firms that have been given contracts to carry out maintenance of power lines by Ketraco.
Two days ago we highlighted how Wamukota is interfering with electricity transmission; going against the presidential directive and being a danger to National Security.
“I saw a story you covered regarding Ketraco acting MD. It is quite true he is a rouge businessman in the name of an MD. Kindly because you can, make do some investigation on his briefcase construction companies that he has been forcing foreign main contractors to award him contracts in the transmission line business”, a source wrote.
How Ketraco’s new MD is interfering with electric transmission repairs
The name of the firms Wamukota allegedly owns are JS Engineering and Luanda.
The procurement fraud has meant that Ketraco works are shoddily carried out. No one can question his decisions or the poor workmanship of his two firms.
On protection of power transmission lines, KETRACO says they’re going to:
– Have restricted areas, power stations and some of the power lines.
– Work together with the police
– Use helicopters to conduct surveys
– Rely on Nyumba Kumi@theninashaban pic.twitter.com/MQtoXKyxtx— NTV Kenya (@ntvkenya) January 21, 2022
One of his firms was awarded a tender to reconstruct the recent breakdowns of towers at Longonot.
The other projects he has messed up include 400kV Isinya – Namanga, 220kV and Bura Garden.
Wamukota is also said to have taken by force another contract on 220kv project about to start from Thika to Embu.
These idiots ruining our country needs to be exposed and sent where they belong; in Kamiti Maxiumu Prison.
