Bright and interesting people talk about ideas. Those of average intelligence talk about things. Stupid people talk about other people.

What? 2nd person complaining of a high bill with all the rationing? I dread what to expect! Who else has received? Anything amiss?

Expected.......Power generated by fossil fuel power plants ain't cheap.......Interestingly,one known company always appears whenever we run low on water levels in our hydro-dams....mmmhhh...a kill.Ama this is what they call 'kula na vijiko mbili'?

But considering that the fuel generated power is yet to be distributed (and end rationing) why is it that the bills have already been adjusted. I would have expected this to affect the september bills which will be paid in october!

@ Njunge,

I concur with your observation.

@Njunge,I agree with you the plants have been there,thats why we always get fuel adj. in our bills. But the communication we got from KPLC was that to end rationing they would rely less on hydro power and increase fuel generated power. My concern is that even before we feel the impact of the increased power that is generated (no rationing),the bills have already been adjusted. So what is the extra charge we are paying for in august bills? In other words,is KPLC raising funds to buy fuel that will be used to generate power in october-hence end rationing in then?

Already enjoying the prepaid kplc service,I am loving it!!!!!!!!

The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.

Yeah,WTF with the high bills in a month of rationing? Maybe they are testing the waters prior to a price adjustment (i.e. can Kenyans pay twice as much for half as much elec?) Lets go solar as much as we can (buy charcoal irons and charcoal fridges - I mean for real - remember in school we used to make charcoal refrigerators with water,cloth,a debe and charcoal?) )

The problem with equality is that we desire that it be with those that have more than us rather that those that have less
