The incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many Kenyans sharing similar complaints about KPLC’s unreliable power supply.
According to Willy Paul, the power surge caused significant damage to his music studio, ruining expensive equipment critical to his work.
He also claimed that the surge affected other valuables across his entire estate, though specific details about the extent of the damage were not provided.
