Kenya Power did not seek legal assistance from the State Law Office before entering into long-term multi-billion shilling power purchase deals that are now blamed for the high cost of electricity, the Attorney-General (AG) Justin Muturi has said.

Mr Muturi told the National Assembly’s Energy committee that the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) entered into power purchase agreements (PPAs) with independent power producers (IPPs) without the input of the office.
