Oh, we wont raise prices, oh no adjustment...

They're already fleecing us with forex adjustment, diesel adjustment, probably Gichuru legal fees adjustment etc.

They installed a pre-paid meter at my home.

on 20th April, 2000 bob got me 132.10 units.
on 06th June, 3000 bob got me 192.60 units.
on 30th June, 3000 bob got me 138.30 units.

Almost a 50% hike in cost of power....

I wish we had some sort of consumer watchdog here...I'd sue their *ss!!!!

Yenyewe they are big liars....They said they will pay dividends on or before 31st May. A month later we are still waiting. Will they pay us interest on delayed dividends?

Actually, its not true that the more you pay the less you get.

The fact is power costs have gone up 50% silently, and we're now feeling the pinch.

The more power you use, the higher you pay. Monthly usage of 50 units or less are at a lower band than 51 - 1500 units. Try to make purchases of 50 units and below each time.

Yes, power rates have gone up. There's increased use of diesel meaning the increases in fuel prices have had an impact. Couple this with the fall in value of the Ksh against the dollar. What KP does is pass these costs to the customer since they don't add to the company's revenues. Its simply passing the cost directly to the customer.

While your anger and frustration is understandable, it is important to note that they had planned to hike the BASIC power rates. Then they retreated.

And regarding the apparent increase after installing pre-paid meters; this is just a coincidence. You new meter came in just before the "Gichuru Legal fee" and other adjustment went up. I haven't got a pre-paid meter yet but my bills also shot up... and I am equally angry!!
