Still waiting patiently 3 years later... You are quoting too much nonsense from politicians. Could you explain why the bills have gone up with verifiable facts. Read the second article or take your bullshit elsewhere... @maka let me translate for @segemia in our mothertongue. They don't discuss such thing at kameme you know. Current cost of 1 unit for the average household (>50kwh p.m) is kes. 18.50. Before Kibaki left we were at 13/kwh. We were promised bills would reduce by 30%. Most people believed the lie only to be disappointed later. Some of our friends are still clinging to the lie.

And the politicians know it, that's why they are never concerned.
BBI will solve it :)

If I remember well, the independent power producers were signed into bidding contracts by Kibaki Gova for 25 years. The reimbursables were to vary depending on a number of variables including fuel costs etc. Now, even if we add 5k MW cheaply to national grid without having high end consumers absorbing the energy,the costs will still continue to rise as the variable costs are decided bt Kenyans- and Kenyans with such access look more at what they get out of the deal than overall policy. Maybe we are even Financing 8/8/17. My analysis......

You guys have it good, my average power bill for forever has always been 8,500 - 11,000 PM. I generally just pay and move on. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins

21k per month has shocked me! Is that really domestic use?
Alhamdullillah, my family uses average of 2k per month on KPLC power. And we use hot shower, electric kettles and other electronics etc... But, TV watching is rare.

The above is true, but only for the 'actual consumption' item of the bill. In my case below, my consumption of 36 units was billed at 2.50/= per unit to yield the 90/= entry item in the screenshot. A host of other charges pushed the total bill to 458.70/=.  ¡ʇɹoɟɟǝ ƃuıɟɟǝ ǝɥʇ ɹoɟ ɥɔnɯ os ؛uıɐʌ uı ɔıqɐɹɐ ƃuıuɹɐǝן pǝıɹʇ ı
