Seven supervisors are said to have received kickbacks from contractors. A supervisor from Kiambu identified as Zipporah Bora allegedly received Sh.729000 in the latest KPLC scam.
The auditors said that most of the employees implicated were related to the directors of the companies that had been listed as contractors.
In their recommendations the auditors suggested that all the companies that had been illegally listed in the KPLC data base be removed and those implicated to face disciplinary actions.
KPLC has since suspended 18 employees after the scandal and suspended the labor and transport companies that were linked to the scam
