kenyapower is in a fix it has been upgrading it's transmission lines by replacing woden poles with concrete that I must say is one hell of an upgrade(costwise) they have also constructed new substation to enhance efficiency.

All these uppgrades require considerable amount of cash.The govt want KPLC to borrow while KPLC thinks that would not be sustainable for long and it might impact on their bottomline if power continue to be subsidised with no corresponding govt funding.

This parastatal is unique in that it holds the future of so many bluechip companies,it is a sensitive company.any hit on its balance sheet can be catastrophic.

Ketraco has eased part of KPLC burden but at the sametime KPLC has not exploited its full potential...what happened to the project of supplying Data. A partnership with one of the telcos would rake in billions in data transmission fees to individual homes.

WTH!!! Let the shareholders pay for the development of this company!!! Otherwise, let competition come in with high efficiency to supply the power at even lower price!!!

why should private sector capital pay for public infrastructure while the govt is spending taxpayer's money to buy laptops toys for children which is a private sector function?

@mkonomtupu, KPLC infrastructure is KPLC assets owned by the shareholders. These shareholders and their appointed managers should develop ingenious way of growing their assets and increasing efficiency inorder to gain from development of the country. Otherwise, lets introduce competition, get the efficiency and consequently the lower energy tariff that our country deserves

I have always known that Kenya Power will derail vision 2030........bure kabisa.
