A court in Ndhiwa has sentenced two men to 10 years in jail or a Sh5 million fine each for vandalizing electricity equipment. This ruling is one of the heaviest penalties issued recently as authorities intensify efforts to curb rising attacks on power infrastructure.

• David Ochieng Lang’o and Godwin Omondi Oduogi were convicted of separate offenses involving vandalism and unlawful handling of power equipment.
• Lang’o was arrested in July 2025 with 10 jerricans of siphoned transformer oil; Oduogi was arrested in April 2025 for unlawfully disconnecting a customer and possessing a transformer fuse.
• Kenya Power welcomed the ruling, with Security Services Manager Geoffery Kigen stating it reinforces their commitment to safeguarding infrastructure and urged the public to report suspicious activities.
