Guys, i have been on this scheme since the first pilot phase over 2 years ago. I tell you without blinking an eyelid this thing is damn convinient. No worry about geeting your bill late or sending someone to post office/bank etc etc. Just buy the units on ur mpesa and voila "there was light" I understand the skeptism but it's all part of change. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Well, at times there are delays with response from KPLC once you've purchased via Mpesa. In such instances, contact KPLC customer care (should be 020-3201015 if I'm not wrong) and they would give you the units and the number you need to input on the meter.

I'm Ali not Ali baba. Mine just started billing few days a go, the 1st 10days or so, was connectd directly without going thru the mtr. So far so good. For in him (Jesus) we live and move and have our being-Acts 17:28

The last time I tried calling that number, all my more than 20 calls were dropped after I was put on hold. It might be better to establish a reorder level and strictly enforce it.

Can someone call them and have them fix the prepaid meter even if they are yet to get the pilot phase to my area? This guys are making holes in my pockets, soon i will be back to the tilly lamp  @ Gordon kindly explain why kplc charges for forex if you do indeed understand the concept.

You cannot call them to have only you put on the prepaid system, if your area has not been designated to have prepaid meter yet. And please note this is not the pilot phase, the pilot was done afew years back. About the forex element, KPLC pay their producers in forex, so any forex exch. loss or gain is passed on to the consumer. You will notice sometimes the forex figure is a +ve & sometimes its a -ve.

The power producers are all within the boundary of Kenya, why then pay them in USD?Hell knows. And why pass the loss to the customers?Can they just absorb the loss like any other companies do!

Thanx @ rryz, like @ impunity i fail to understand why i should be charged forex yet the suppliers of KPLC are all local. Anyway, i may have to continue getting ripped off in the meanwhile. This month my consumption after really reducing my usage was 529/= yet my total bill is 2,658/=.
