Kenya pipeline company mess

Why this should worry every Kenyan

  1. When we Privatised Kenya Airways
    KQ has never recovered because the rich decided to invest in Airplanes and forced KQ to lease all profitable air routes to those owners!
    Most of these leases are through NCBA bank so every time Government with it’s share of KQ decided to bail out KWQ the percentage of Citizens money goes towards the leases of planes because Kenya airways reduced it’s number of airplanes as Politicians continued to buy and brand their own planes

  2. When Politicians decided to Privatize KPLC nothing has ever been the same again for industrialization and small factories
    Electricity is bought through third party using PPp agreement whose objective and first priority is to benefit their Shareholders in Kengen, KPLC even as Citizens build dams that generate the Hydro Power!

  3. Now another group of dynasties has come together to Privatize Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) and this will now finish off the small industries that relied on Generators to produce
    Another impact this will have is directly affect cost of living because a group of individuals will now be controlling Kenya’s fuel prices which means cost of production will go up which will affect cost delivery of goods to market this affecting cost of living and effectively making a percentage of Middle class drop to low income household

Kenyans will be doubly poorer in assets & wealth as the rich own the Government and all National assets

We can’t allow this to happen and we need a serious discussion and a referendum to end Privatisation of Communal Public utilities and National assets that have been publicly owned for years before corrupt Politicians started to move them through manipulation and deception as a Public service benefitting the Citizens.

Do you understand anything you’ve typed here?

Ama it’s just fashionable to join any online lynch mob?

The situation is that 99.9% of voters and the general public can not even understand the privatization issues you point out. They have no basis to be angry enough to stand up and demand anything different.

They can’t even understand the concept thet those public assets being privatized belong to them, all they know is that KQ na KPC ni ya serekali i.e it belongs to someone else.

Look at the comment under yours

Let me break it down:

Politicians privatizing KPLC & KQ:

Ever heard of the Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) of the 1990s?

PPPs (Nope! It’s IPPs)

IPPs (Independent Power Producers) generate power and sell it to KPLC.

They don’t hurt KenGen; they complement it. KenGen doesn’t have the capacity to produce all of Kenya’s electricity needs.

But the IPPs do hurt KPLC, by selling power to KPLC at exorbitant rates, locked in with long-term contracts.

KenGen & KPLC shareholders

You do realize that these are public companies, meaning that you can also become a shareholder by buying their shares?

Kumira kumira.
