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

100% return in one year ? How is that possible in the prevailing bear market that seems to have no end

Spent 16bn in transmission infrastructure, cashflows went down 93% hence no money for dividends.

I've noticed in parts of Nairobi (along Ngong Road, Riara Road, Gitanga Road), there has been recent activity over the last six or so months of installing street lighting with concrete posts - mind you this same exercise was carried out with steel posts less than two or three years ago, and most of them are still in-situ in tip top condition - a situation that is probably replicated around the city if not the country, so somebody else is the beneficiary of the 'dividend'...

What's the common thread among the guys that are in charge of the public energy sector in Kenya?

KPLC lied to prez re: last mile says Standard. CEO is Tarus.
KPC drama in 1.2bn SCADA project. Former CEO Tanui. Current CEO Sang.

I continue to stay far away from from GoK owned, controlled or heavily influenced firms.
My sole exception is KenRe but I watch it carefully. Any sign of funny business and I cut and run.
Safaricom, despite GoK Treasury's 25%, is controlled by Vodafone (40%). That has saved the firm from being a cash cow for connected folks.
