The increment in the cost of power (not connectivity) has got nothing to do with donors, or Jubilee. It is something Kenya Power has been routing for, for a long time now. I have never been sure it was a wise move to privatise critical parastatals like Kenya Power and KenGen. Now they need to make profits!! TULIA.........UFUNZWE!

I believe the Kenya govt is still subsidizing the connection cost They couldn't afford it in the long run and hence stopped. That is why the connection isn't 35K at the moment. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around....

But the subsidy was to last a few month, no? Either way, Jubilee will need to milk stones or whatever, because 1. The planned 5000 MWs will need to be absorbed, and very few Kenyans can afford over 70k connectivity fee, and if anything, Jubilee should take the populist route and further subsidise it to 10k for several years and win some VOTES 2. The court of public opinion will be harsh and unforgiving come 2017 if that doesn't happen! Im sure the dynamic duo are no fools! The deputy president was on the news not long ago and promised the connections would be free in the near future. i.am.back!!!!

14/04/2014: Quote:In the local dailies Kenya Power says, “All prospective customers whose actual connectivity charges are more than Ksh.135,000 will be required to pay the full connectivity charge. This includes customers located within 600 meters of the distribution transformer but whose quotations exceed Ksh.135,000.”
What basically this means is, the 35,000 shillings connection charge only applies to the customers whose actual connectivity charge does not exceed 135,000 shillings and who are within 600 meters.
There is a catch nevertheless; these customers would be the ones who particularly require at most 2 poles. http://www.smartkenya.co...ity-connection-charges/
Plans to reduce it to 15,000 and eventually to Zero http://www.networkedblogs.com/OrLc4TULIA.........UFUNZWE!
