Kenya Power has breached the terms attached to Sh59.96 billion worth of its short-term and long-term loans, signalling a biting cash crunch at the State-owned electricity distributor. The firm, whose total borrowings were Sh113 billion as at the end of June, breached debt covenants for Sh49.99 billion long-term loans and Sh9.98 billion short-term debt, prompting auditor general Edward Ouko to qualify its financial statements. Commercial borrowings were from Standard Chartered Bank (Sh51.48 billion), Equity Bank (Sh7.38 billion), First Rand Bank (Sh10.89 billion) and Stanbic bank (Sh2.08 billion). https://www.businessdail...74874-ov943nz/index.htmlWealth is built through a relatively simple equation

They also cooked books which is now a trend at soko mjinga Quote:Electricity distributor Kenya Power cooked its books to the tune of billions of shillings in two years after it was roped into a political scheme to keep the electorate happy in the run-up to last year’s General Election. Auditor-General Edward Ouko has, in his latest report, laid bare the full extent of the financial misrepresentation, whose aim was to keep electricity prices artificially low and help the Jubilee government get re-elected. Kenya Power refused to restate its financial results for the years ended June 2017 and June 2018 as Mr Ouko had advised, underlining the level of impunity at the Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm. https://www.businessdail...875332-3jn25/index.html

Are the shareholders being psychologically prepped for a rescue rights issue?

The Jubilee government’s race to connect poor households to the national electricity grid in the run-up to last year’s election left Kenya Power with Sh2.8 billion bad debts, the latest audit of the company’s books found. Kenya Power found itself in the deep financial hole after more than 880,000 households that were supplied with electricity and had prepaid meters fitted did not consume the power, and did not pay for it. “We have recovered approximately Sh120 million so far. Our aim is to recover the outstanding amount in 24 months,” said the power distributor which sank into cash-flow shortfalls after consumers failed to Sh12 billion bills for more than 30 days by end of June. The idle meters mean that Kenya Power has increased the cost of maintaining additional lines that do not contribute to growth in revenue. This is despite intensive field inspections targeting all prepaid installations countrywide. In the financial year ended June 2018, the company added 578,808 customers to hit a total of 6.761 million, a growth that acting CEO Jared Othieno attributed to the Last Mile connectivity. Basic revenue, however, grew by just three per cent to Sh95.5 billion from Sh91.95 billion. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation

Meh. Excuses. The main source of KPLC's financial woes is known. It runs in almost every other government-run firm.

KPLC are very STUPID ...... In my village, people who can easily pay after connection, they are still demanding money to connect from the transform yet they have connect many 'poor' people for free yet cannot afford to pay on a monthly basis. The employees behave as if they are doing you a favour. I have no sympathy for this company. Plus the blackouts experienced in Migori / Homa-bay areas are just out of this world. In the business world, everyone is paid in two coins - cash and experience. Take the experience first; the cash will come later - H Geneen

From word go we stated that this last mile program was flawed. Last mile should have been to the shopping centres, and anyone who wants further downstream connection should have paid from their pocket. But we understand jubilee wanted to walk up to podium and say 'we had so many connections in '13, now we have double, in less than 5yrs. Whether it was economically feasible or not this was secondary. That's why I'll be voting anyone else but jubilee next time
