Kenya Power will be forced to compensate its customers for losses incurred during blackouts if a motion planned by Coast MPs sails through and becomes law. Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir and his Lamu East counterpart Ali Shariff said they planned to table a motion in the National Assembly to push the electricity firm to offer compensation to Kenyans for losses arising from power outages.
I fully agree with this. • The stuff stored in fridges. • Unrecoverable subscription to pay tv and the likes lost. • Advertisers losing viewers eg Tusker Project fame. • Emotional trauma. I hope advertisers or media could gang up and make them repay or rerun the lost media.
BBI will solve it :)

Such mad bills can never pass... It reminds me of the bill to control interest rates! Sad

More loans more problems. Dividends per share will be continue being low. The company now has accumulated debt of kshs. 71 billion

it's cheaper and easier to obtain debt financing than equity financing. Do you expect Kenya power shareholders to give 32 billion each year to finance expansion? Can't happen, won't happen. A company must look for the optimal capital structure mixing debt and equity. Kenya power and kengen are retirement stocks just pick them up in small bits no hurry

RUN! The debt is just too much, unless its how one wants to help in building the economy by being a shareholder. Unlike ARM where they have high debt/debt instrument but the equity side doesnt suffer like in KPLC, Kengen. Its just throwing money away unless serious shareholder focussed management of these firms starts.
The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

kengen equity:debt ratio is 30:70 which is the standard model of capital structure. Kenya power has its own other issues. I always like companies that are restructuring their balance sheet that's where good bargains come around
