Kenya Power is on site raising the power lines that electrocuted and killed endangered Rothschild Giraffes in Soysambu Conservancy

KPLC engineers are currently working on the low lying Soysambu line. This after the unfortunate death of endangered Rothschild Giraffes in Soysambu Conservancy. Kenya Power is replacing the electricity poles within the area to prevent future electrocution of more giraffes.

“At the same time Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala is engaging the Energy Cabinet Secretary Charles Keter on the same for a lasting solution,” KWS said.

Kenyans on Twitter on Sunday evening expressed their anger and dismay after pictures emerged of the giraffes that were electrocuted to death.

Questioned were raised why Kenya Power has not dealt with low hanging power lines despite several complaints over the past two years. Others criticized the disregard for endangered animal species such as the Rothschild’s giraffe.
