Kenya: Role of Energy Management towards Kenyan Economic Prosperity

From: amenya gibson

Dear people,

As Hon Chris Okemo and former KPLC MD Gichuru battle to avoid jails terms. I want us to recall this scenario that happened a few years ago. Large scale power rationing in 1992 or 93 IMF flew in large generators which some were stationed at Kasarani Kenyan government was slapped with a very huge bill which led to KPLC books of account to nose dive lol. Things became very thick to KPLC there was no further research and expansion of power ,communities who wanted power was slapped with very obscene connection charges.

Another mistake was massive sackings at KPLC to reduce pay costs.

And this mistake we did in 1992/93 has seen Kenya fail to catch up with Singapore tiger nations.

Is time we work hard to ensure Kenya has effecient energy to power our economy.

Over 60 % of this nation is without reliable power. Over 12,000 primary schools don’t have power yet we talk of vision 2030.

So energy if we harness it well ,Kenyan GDP will move north. Jobless rate will reduce and investors will come back so that we don’t keep losing to countries like Egypt.

Am very glad for Ministry of Energy to have begun mini power productions plants or encouraging private investors too.

But more is needed too more so in power selling KPLC is now joking with Kenyans power blackouts are all over.

I wish our leaders will amend energy at so that KPLC whenever there is power blackout customers are paid.


Thanks
