Kenya has its corruption problems lakini on the other side Rural election which carries a big cost hawatambui

Any person can write that. But the truth is that in Tanzania, through REA, every village is connected to electricity.

…nia. Hakuna kiongozi yeyote wa Serikali ya Kenya alivikemea kuingilia soverginity ya Tanzania. So hiyo ni agenda ya serikali yenu. We are ready in this war. Mtajua tu, na tumeanza taratibu tu mtatuelewa.
Tanzania kwenye international politics tunajua mno.

ila, Jihadharini kwamba kinachohitajika kukamata na kutawala Tanzania nzima ni walinzi wawili wa gate na maafisa watatu wa G4S.
Sitasema mengi.

Utatombwa wewe. Hebu leta mkundu wako TZ

Kenya IPPs sign long term deals to provide emergency power. They are usually over 25 years. If they are not supplying the grid the IPPs are still paid to be idle. That’s the problem. Over 59% of kplc power is supplied by Kengen. Yet IPPs are paid 61% of the power supplied to Kplc.

IPP ownership is where the problem is. Well connected power brokers , i won’t mention names get paid obscenely high prices per KWh as compared to what kengen us paid. Paid in dollars.
To make sure they never operate at a loss , when diesel prices rise every month , they are compensated.
One IPP owned by a former KPLC wa given startup money to build the plant by the govt in the nineties. It still churning out smoke today over 30 years later.

A group of cartels were proposing to build a 2000MW coal plant in the coast region. Kenya Which is good if they can do it and supply whatever the country needs but Kenya peak demand maximum is 2500MW .
