Residents of two Mukuru slums are in darkness after electricity distributor Kenya Power removed a transformer that served the areas.

The equipment served residents of the Mukuru-Sokoni and Mukuru-Fuata Nyayo neighbourhoods in Nairobi South ward, Starehe sub-county. It stood near the South B All Nations (PEFA) church on Aoko Road before it was unmounted by Kenya Power personnel two weeks ago.
