ERC may allow the 20% hike in the tariff review in the coming months to cater for new plants so KPLC is like a plane on the runway you might be left at the terminal waiting to board

Why is kplc passing the infrastructure costs to the consumer yet it makes profit. Kwani hii profit wanapeleka wapi?


They are doing it because they can. They are taking advantage of their current monopoly status and laughing at our faces asking "utadoo?"

BBI will solve it :)

Stop being vindictive. Kwani, do you ask the same questions of Safaricom & Equity whose margins are MUCH higher but whose infrastructure investments are much lower?

..i think a wise thing to do is become a major shareholder of kplc..major enough to ensure dividends and capital gains far outweigh your annual power bill. smile

The question is, to whom does such increasing costs go to? I tend to believe the beneficiaries of these are neither the consumer nor the shareholders. The beneficiaries of the uncontrolled costs of a monopoly are the Gichurus and Okemos of this world, the contractors and the employees. As a shareholder what you can get from Kplc is the same as you can get from any other credible counter. So let us not cheat ourselves. We stand to all gain in an efficient and corrupt free kplc as in any other parastatal.

I like very much....

Why else would you be in business if you want to absorb capital costs. Why not just donate.

Thinking of buying odd lots at 20.50/= don't know if it will work out. CFC Activelite has the option of buying from Odd lot.
