So is there an upside coming from this story?

The unpaid bills are more than the net profit! Hoping the collection is effective.

It is most likely overstated and half of it may have to be written off. These guys last read my meter on June 2015, freaking June. To top it off, i'm just 50 metres from the main road.
Most guys know their average monthly bill, so you just pay it regardless of the inefficiencies.
When they remember to send your bill, they inflate it to over 5 times.
I previously had KPLC stock but dumped it all. INEFFICIENCY!!!

Read this story and realized I had a few "ancient" [bonus] shares left. Some original shares are still in certificate (KE Pounds) format. Sold off the "dematerialized" shares.

2017 is the year of the clean-up. I might as well sell these "orphans" and buy KK.

Kenya power and kengen can only be good when they pay consistent dividends.Last year kengen paid nothing while recently kenya power failed to pay usual interim dividend.This means dividend is inconsistent.Kengen literally lied to shareholders.Idont know about kenya power,what was the reason for failure to pay interim?

Failing to pay interim is not a big issue,but failing to pay a final will be an issue to interogate however iam purely looking for capital gains here exit being above 15 in one year or less
