YAMETA - power off again 3 times last evening at Kahawa area - what's up with these pple, kazi imewalemea au nini? haja gani kutulipa dividends when clearly they need to work on their service delivery? Hifadhi hizo senti - one of these days compe will come.... am already doing an inverter system - I hope Chloride exide can help me with this.
I cant keep shutting down my comp and these evening hours are my side-hustle hours - I am at that point in life when that work I do evenings makes more for me and family than my regular job. Soon thereafter, I will invest heavily in solar and they can keep their sparks!

One day i went to bed in absolute darkness and when i slept i dreamt end of monopoly by KPLC.We had gone without power for two straight days.On the night of the champions league match, i had to drive to tao to watch the game, ended up running a bill of 1k on drinks , yet i didn't plan for this. Entire south B had no power.

Way back in 2009, towards Christmas i walked into KPLC banking halls knowing pretty well that my bill was 3k.I gave the teller the 3k and she looked me up and asked 'kwani unalipa pesa ngapi?' i told her 3 k. She told me sternly, your bill is 11k. I protested and was dully sent to the 'complains' queue.Mind you , you just dropped in to pay your bill, enrout to work. I tell you this queue was long and winding, quite longer than the queue for guys making payments.They told me they will send a technician in the course of the week to take the meter readings.To cut a long story short, no technician came...but i ended up paying the money.What choice do you have? "Kenya yameta, matoto wake, tunavuna jasho lake" is one slogan that drives me nuts.

.....And i had this joke a while back. KPLC disconnects your power.You respond by paying the bill and outstanding charges.You wait days 1, 2, 3 for a reconnection.Nothing. You follow it up, they ask you for a map to your place. Question is how did they get to your place to disconnect , in the first place, and can't use the same map to come reconnect?
