Just wondering aloud as to why KPLC is charging graduated rates on every token. Is it an encouragement for bulk buying or an inefficiency in their system due to its inability to capture the tariff card fully. anyone familiar with the rating?

I also wonder. I got used to buying tokens worth 200 bob at a time. One instance I get like 22units, the next only 12. How is this done?

You can judge a man by the power units he consumes...!!!
While sharing a drink with a Laker, I told him I use --- units of power every month...In astonishment he looked at me and quipped...'yawa, those units are not even able to turn on my music system'...!!!

Not really! Domestic consumers - Every month Kenya power charges 2bob for the first 50 units and something like 8 bob for any additional units above, and there is a monthly standing charge. The number of units you get at any time will depend whether Kenya power is deducting monthly charge, and if you are paying for the first 50 units.
