Is this siasa ama ukweli?
Its like we have so much been distracted with Okao Referendum that we cannot even see the little things that greatly affect our lives positively.

Eti fuel charge to go down by 73% and the overal fuel power cost to be down by 30% by end of this month.

Sweet news from Jublee gaaament since being elected.smile

Did I say "sweet news"?
d'oh!

The government is retiring its diesel plants.
Which are these plants?
Do the plants include the Iberafrica and Watsila?
What is the fate of the our bros and sizs employed in those companies?

This is not an interesting article Mawinder,Its a shallow article!!!!

If we have excess power,which i do not think,we can always export it to South Sudan,TZ,Uganda(yes,even they they export power to us,they always have daily blackouts)

Power consumption is going to increase, many rural places are now on the grid.

Makau assumes that the current power consumption will remain static.

I have posted here before, energy costs in the next 5yrs will come down significantly. Part of Jubilee plan to reduce cost of goods production. We may be a net energy exporter by 2019..

This song has been sung for donkey's years. When will ever come true - ama its one of those Jubiree promises that never come true. Nkt

Only last year KShs 1,000 would get be 84 units of power on the prepaid thingy. Now the same 1K gets me 39.2 units

HII KITUI ITAFANYIKA LINI? I really am pissed off my this 'next month' crap.

“We added today at 9 am an additional 70 megawatts from Olkaria. This will displace diesel power plants and the fuel cost component in electricity bills will come down,” Mr Mugo said


Now way can Man,Wartsila and the others be displaced.

Their scope of work is huge and covers other areas and companies,plus they will still be relied upon to provide machinery/spareparts to run these facilities.

Its trendy nowadays to appear skeptic..which is being confused as wit...the guy has minimalist view ..and he is wearing welding goggles akin to David Ndii and the ilk..see nothing good until a certain Babu is in power
