The Jubilee government’s race to connect poor households to the national electricity grid in the run-up to last year’s election left Kenya Power with Sh2.8 billion bad debts, the latest audit of the company’s books found. Kenya Power found itself in the deep financial hole after more than 880,000 households that were supplied with electricity and had prepaid meters fitted did not consume the power, and did not pay for it. “We have recovered approximately Sh120 million so far. Our aim is to recover the outstanding amount in 24 months,” said the power distributor which sank into cash-flow shortfalls after consumers failed to Sh12 billion bills for more than 30 days by end of June. The idle meters mean that Kenya Power has increased the cost of maintaining additional lines that do not contribute to growth in revenue. This is despite intensive field inspections targeting all prepaid installations countrywide. In the financial year ended June 2018, the company added 578,808 customers to hit a total of 6.761 million, a growth that acting CEO Jared Othieno attributed to the Last Mile connectivity. Basic revenue, however, grew by just three per cent to Sh95.5 billion from Sh91.95 billion. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Meh. Excuses. The main source of KPLC's financial woes is known. It runs in almost every other government-run firm.

KPLC are very STUPID ...... In my village, people who can easily pay after connection, they are still demanding money to connect from the transform yet they have connect many 'poor' people for free yet cannot afford to pay on a monthly basis. The employees behave as if they are doing you a favour. I have no sympathy for this company. Plus the blackouts experienced in Migori / Homa-bay areas are just out of this world. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

From word go we stated that this last mile program was flawed. Last mile should have been to the shopping centres, and anyone who wants further downstream connection should have paid from their pocket. But we understand jubilee wanted to walk up to podium and say 'we had so many connections in '13, now we have double, in less than 5yrs. Whether it was economically feasible or not this was secondary. That's why I'll be voting anyone else but jubilee next time

Can only wait to feed on the crumbs that fall off the table.
