Its very simple... If GOK owns more than 50% it's state owned..

KQ and KCB are not state owned but Kenya re, Kenya Power and Kengen are state owned!

The majority of the exiting managers had been asked to apply afresh for the fewer top jobs that were left after the restructuring, but were not successful.

“The new positions were advertised internally and externally so we can promote staff with potential and also bring in new blood,” said Dr Chumo, adding that Kenya Power is moving to a leaner organisational structure that involves the merger of some management functions.


I don't see the reason to fire when expanding. This is a ploy to replace "certain people" with "certain people"

KPLC is having problems with unpaid bills from consumers and now rethinking the pre-paid system, which was supposed to actually remedy the situation. Does anyone have the distribution of how old these bills are? The unpaid bills were about 9 billion in 2013 and 14 billion in 2014 which is worrying.

"Of its 3.17 million customers, 2.9 million are domestic consumers (91 per cent of total consumers). Of these, 1.6 million are on the postpaid metering system while 925,000 are on the pre-paid metering system.

In March, the company made Sh2.8 billion from post-paid customers, who cumulatively consumed 160,558 GigaWatt hours (GWhrs) of electricity. From prepaid customers — who cumulatively consumed 40,047 GWhrs — it made Sh0.7 billion.

Using March figures, this would mean one post-paid domestic customer consumed 12 GWhrs of electricity and on average paid Sh1,432. And each prepaid customer consumed an average 23 GWhrs and paid roughly Sh756 to the power company."
