Its a pity kenya power a govt owned entity which is suppose to be generating and distributing power to citizens has not improved it's services with the growth of the population and now its buying power off other firms. In otherwords its now reduced to a distribution kind of company. Its funny how people do sleep on their jobs and get away with it. I mean some of these things ought to have been addressed in the boardrooms in a ministerial level and also the company itself. But here we are now,kenya struggling with power rationing,water rationing,i dont know what else is next

@jaheim are you suggesting that kengen should start manufacturing tamu tamu and in the process derive some power?

What i'm implying is kenya power has really failed to serve wananchi,its completely lots its plot on why it was formed in the first place i,e generation and distribution of power. Now its more doing the distribution bit which is also a problem. Kengen came afterwards when kplc started struggling and now we hear of this mumias thingy on sugarcane left overs,we maybe going green maybe kenya is really participating in cutting down global warming this way and maybe usa and brito should give us a medal of honour!

@jaheim,get your facts right. KPLC is a DISTRIBUTION company. Kengen is a GENERATING company,so is the newly established Geothermal company. KPLC used to be a generating and distributing company until the generating bit was hived off and Kengen created to take that business.

@gordon gekko,
Well either way,so the problem kenyans are having year in year out is it generation or distribution????? Definately both cause KPLC failed in the first place and when Kengen came to existence it inherited some of these problems

I beleive kplc has been doing a fairly gud job,so has kengen. As 4 rationing,the blame lies squarely on the gava! Only 1 major dam since 1940!

The only reason why some people are still alive is coz its illegal to shoot them!!

KPLC was broken up by GoK. its current mandate is as a DISTRIBUTOR. As for the past,it was heavily politicized. The management was corrupt. Heard of samuel gichuru?

@simonkabs,
what do you mean 'only one major dam since 1940'?

Facts are:

1968 - Kindaruma

1974 - Kamburu

1978 - Gitaru

1981 - Masinga (perhaps this is one you are recognising)

1991 - Turkwel (many claim that this one is a 'White Elephant',yet when you look at the generation figures,Turkwel is the most reliable of all the hydros!! It's only problem was the inflated cost)

2008/9 - Sondu/Miriu
