At this level KP is testing multi year support zone clustered from 1996, 1999, 2004, 2005 and 2009 (GFC low). Next critical support level is 8.00 handle if this support level fails. Break below that critical support level opens up a nasty air-pocket to crazy lows last seen between 2000 - 2002 period.

Testing support at 8.00 handle. Caution.

Status conference can be held in English, Kiswahili and ............ Good I jumped out when I could (at a loss) smile


Very sad story. Reminds me of the 90s.
No wonder the capitulation. This one and simba i'm not touching.

Ata street light is counted as a connection.So if on a highway 15 of them are connected and lit up;those are counted as 15 homes
Hizo numbers are so cooked up you won't believe if you go to the details.
That is why the numbers are not corresponding to the bottomline/revenue

Kuwaga serious @Ericsson!!! Where did you see a single lamp post with it's own meter?? Ama what do you understand "connections" to mean??? Next you will tell us they counted the number of bulbs in our houses!!!

Some things you don't even need to argue! Just take a road trip to a random village that did not have electricity 5 years ago.

MB I think our argument is that the increment in the number of connections will not directly translate to increment in revenues .... profits .... in a proportional manner. Revenues and profits will lag behind .... I hope I make sense smile


KP gets over 60% of its revenue from just about 5000 so called large power customers. Hao wengine 4.795M wanachanga hizo zingine. Now if 1M new connections are guys who pay 200-500 monthly, after huge capital outlay...extra-polate.
There should be new industries for that revenue to grow, otherwise there are issues...

Most of the new [household] connections consume less than 200KwH and this is subsidized. Look at your bill. We pay much more per unit than they do.

Gava should now focus on increasing electricity per capita consumption.
Otherwise the massive connections of homes for lighting bulbs will drain KP coz after sometime the lines will need maintenances.
The revenue they get won't be able to sustain the maintenance cost.
Gava is also shooting KPLC by promoting solar electricity coz this is also killing KP business.

Still have a stake in this company. Been itching to swing at it but unfortunately a lack of cash means I have not been able to take advantage of the discount served thus far.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
