who are these guys? i've seen the owner listed as david karanja. why does kenya power send me smses insisting i buy tokens using PDS number after i bought tokens using kenya power's number 888880? you would think they would be publicising their own number and not that of a vendor.

The name betrays him. Thieves should be repatriated to Mapinda forest in Tanzania.

Giving alternatives for purchasing tokens isn't a bad idea!!!

I had the misfortune of receiving multiple texts from these fellows. According to Safaricom customer care these guys are agents for Kenya Power.

i have this nagging feeling that the karanja guy is just fronting for some major politician loading up on campaign cash. cant see why kenya power should be frantically advertising a third party when there is an option to go to them direct.

Very confusing indeed.

Kenya power must be upto to something since when they discontinued the prepaid meters. I guess they found out there was no money to be made. Like Baki once said you need intelligence to steal , the rest is robbery

However KPLC are not forcing anybody to topup with the 3rd parties, have they?

The issue here is this unknown third party and their mode of operation. Where is the value addition to me as the customer?

Has KP been overwhelmed so that they have to introduce agents?

its odd that a small company like PDS has the infrastructure to ensure faster loading of tokens than a billion dollar turnover company like kenya power. it's like safaricom redirecting people to some small internet service provider because it doesnt have sufficient capacity.

KPLC credits you after 48 hours. PDS credits you in minutes.

All this is planned. What KPLC should do is buy out PDS and employ their staff.

This is how is done else where were you don't have the skill and you need to be up and running in a short time.

I trust someone is listening otherwise taxpayers money will be moved from paying the very expensive independent power producers to payment system outsource.

The game remains the same the players having been changed.

PDSL systems connect to KPLC systems to generate tokens. There is only one central point for generating tokens
