Kenya Power and Lighting Company managing director (KPLC) Joseph Siror is today expected to issue a statement in connection to an incident in which an employee was assaulted by a legislator.
Senior management of the company is also expected to attend the event to be held at its offices in Nairobi.
This comes hours after security officers and officials from the company based in Kitengela are said to have raided the home of Kitui East MP Nimrod Mbai who was captured on camera assaulting the employee.
Items which include cables and metre box belonging to the firm are said to have been recovered from the home which is still under construction.
The legislator was not at home during the raid. However, Mbai has since been arrested and is set to be arraigned for assault in Kajiado.
Isinya subcounty director of criminal investigations Benjamin Ndebai told journalists that the assaulted Kenya power engineer has already filed a report at their station.
On Tuesday evening, the company through the Human Resources and Administration general manager Cecilia Kalungu said they are working with security agencies.
"They have vowed to ensure that justice for our employees is served," she said.
She also assured the employees that the Company will provide them with the necessary support and security when needed to thank employees for the great work that they are doing they are.
Mbai claimed that the officer in question had removed electric poles leading to his house at Kitengela, Kajiado.
The officer, who had been accompanied to the MP's house by KPLC security and two regular police officers, did not retaliate.
The legislator said he had been invaded by the KPLC staff at his house.
