I don't think it's game over. I saw they've advertised for a new CEO.
I'm a share holder of KPLC and I think this ruling by parliament is the best thing to have ever happened to KPLC. They have no choice but to be efficient and I think under the now no-nonsense Jubilee govt. they have no choice.

As for barrier to entry, I don't think it's that difficult, GE or those Chinese companies can decide overnight to throw in a few billion $ and be up and running in no time.

A very serious audit is needed for any foreign investor wishing to enter this sector, people are not ready to pay much and the unwavering Kenyan patriotism might just make them unprofitable similar experience to what's happening in the telecoms sector meaning KPLC will eventually reign supreme.

BBI will solve it :)

The biggest barrier for an investor though is they'll be getting in an industry where people are not ready to pay much and might prove unprofitable for 'non Kenya' companies as we're experiencing in the telecoms meaning KPLC will eventually reign supreme.


There is the problem. Kenyans want cheap elec yet we dont produce enough. Penetration is only at 15%, there's money to be made in generating but not in distributing.

Those should be preference shares at 4% and 7% respectively. I stand to be "collected" though.

I think, at this time, i can state that 13.80/- is the lowest KPLC is hitting until FY2013 results. Any doubts?

Telkom is more Kenyan than Safaricom. I believe its innovation, marketin plus efficient service that wins over the client

Kenya Power has received a Sh3.3 billion loan from the French Development Agency (AfD) to partly finance connection of at least 300,000 new households.
