They are not able to read the signs of the times and will help accelerate adoption of alternative sources of power. Useless,

Companies install standby generators to cushion business from erratic electricity supply by kplc High cost of power driving enterprises into the brink of closure. The list of search is endless, but on the receiving end is kplc and kengen. Let's go the classed way of saying mighty things as below. If this trend continues, passengers and touts will own matatus and owners of matatus will face off in a rat-race fiasco. How will your offsprings be fairing  while caugh up in this meddling of mandled state of afair. ,Behold, a sower went forth to sow;....

Energy regime change long overdueQuote:The other day, a reader reached out to provide me with documents from the Companies’ Registry to show me that a member of the Kenya Electricity Workers Union (Ketawu) was a shareholder in one of the leading IPPs, arguing that this was a clear case of conflict of interest.
The union has just put out a statement calling for the removal from office of the board of Kenya Power that includes three members of the John Ngumi-led committee that has been at the forefront of calling for renegotiation of power purchase agreements. Quote:Indeed the main reason and motive for the spirited campaign to remove the current Kenya Power board members is because they have been trying to disrupt the networks that have captured the company by turning its supply chain into a veritable source of inexhaustible largesse.

Directors do not recommend payment of dividend. Dissapointing as usual. Ruined by the income tax and lack of dividend.

You actually expect a company with Kes 110 billion in debt to pay a dividend?

Most likely the government will restructure some of this debt into equity and in so doing diluting the minority shareholders. Parastatals such as KPLC exist to provide an essential social service, profit well connected suppliers and provide jobs to the well connected. They are not ran to make a profit.

My 2 cents wrote:You actually expect a company with Kes 110 billion in debt to pay a dividend?  Exactly! How would a creditor who is being asked to restructure the loan feel when dividends are paid but the loan is not being serviced?  Greedy when others are fearful.

Until the loans are being regularly/properly serviced, the lenders will not look kindly upon dividends. Some loans have a provision that restricts dividends when loans are under not performing.

They promise all the goodies and expectations we all want to hear but delivery = 0 Problem is we all know the scam but keep falling into the trap. “You can get in way more trouble with a good idea than a bad idea, because you forget that the good idea has limits.” - Ben Graham
