The Institution of Engineers of Kenya has come out to condemn the assault of a Kenya Power and lighting Company service engineer by Kitui East Member of Parliament Hon. Nimrod Mbai while conducting his day to day service duties.
In a viral video circulating on social media platforms Mr Julius Onkangi who is a graduate engineer registration number B4499 is seen getting slapped by the Member of Parliament while attempting to disconnect electricity which is said to have been connected illegally following an outcry by neighbourhood residents whose electricity has become dim and faulty. It is in light of this outcry that KPLC staff discovered a massive illegal connection leading to the member of parliaments palatial home under construction.
Speaking at the headquarters of the Institute of Engineers of Kenya in Nairobi President of the professional body Engineer Engineer Erick Ohaga lamented saying as an Institute and the entire engineering fraternity is dismayed by the Incident further adding that as an institution they are looking towards getting enjoined in the case to ensure that justice is served and the Hon member faces the full force of the law. Hon Mbai has since been released on a cash bail following his apprehension with the case currently pending in court.
