You are an IDIOT! How is kenya going to industrialise and be competitive when mujinga kathiongo is increasing the cost of power while all our neighbours are decreasing the cost? And FYI kenya already has the most exepensive power in the region.
There is a phyrric feeling of victory inakuwanga once umeondokea ujinga ya gava. I recently got a quote of 980k for my business. That is 12 580w panels, 3 5.1 kWh lithium batteries, 1 6kw hybrid inverter plus accessories. I spend about 40-45k per month on electricity plus more birrions on generator fuel so in theory, the ROI will be 2 years maximum. I am still looking for the birrions. Part of my compelling reasons ni tabia ya KPLC kuanua stima as and when they please which is prevalent around the lake basin area.
Solar is cheap. Kuna supermarket na bakery nimeona has moved to solar. Also you will have no disruption of power. Kuna kafeeling unakuwa nayo once you know hakuna siku stima itapotea kwa nyumba.
Kuna siku hizo maumbwa zilianua stima for three days in a row na saa hio kuna manyama kwa freezer. Staff na familia walikula nyama mpaka wakasema tawe coz hakuna vile ningepikia customers.j
I have never believed that Kenya Power and Mpesa are strategic national assets. The stray dogs responsible wanazima na kuwasha wakitaka. Unaweza nunua token na Mpesa asubuhi 6 am only for the message to come in at midday. Ama uingie kwa club after kupewa Mpesa ikatae na saa hio waitress ako na wewe hapa na hapa akifikiria ni ukasongo uko nayo.
Safaricom was predicted to decline under a Kenyan CEO, and that prediction has come true. Artifical Intelligence, for example, is a completely alien concept at the company because Ndegwa converted the company from a technology company into a retail sales company, and he assumes all of us are too stupid to notice the company’s bottom line is propped up solely by mpesa and mkopa.
KPLC on the other hand has actually improved in terms of service delivery. Rolling blackouts are still a given and load shedding is simply a function of the country not producing enough electricity. Without a stable large scale power source.. we’ll be stuck in the 1900s until the year 2500.
