WaKenya are very angry about the proposed 20% hike in electricity tariffs by @kenyapower.

businessdailyafrica.com/news/Kenya-Pow…

Let's go back. You recall how people gloated at #SwitchOffKPLC when @EPRA_Ke reduced tariffs in Nov '18?



It was TEMPORARY.

(thread)
2. This temporary relief expired in July '19. In any case, these tariffs were not graduated & came with crazy restrictions around consumption over a period of 3mths that saw electricity consumers playing mazzematics with their bills! Such confusion.

#SwitchOffKPLC
3. So @KenyaPower seized the opportunity to push for higher electricity tariffs but was badly bounced by Pavel Oimeke #OimekeTariffLies @EPRA_Ke

& also rejected by @ketercharles @EnergyMinK

WaKenya: corruption in the energy sector often hides in plain sight; often appearing to be above board until you begin to piece together the political and business interests.

The story of Mr. James Gacheru - former MD Jamii Bora Bank 👇🏾

#SwitchOffKPLC
2. In Jan 2018, Mr. Gacheru decided to go it alone in the 51MW wind power plant - Kajiado.

By Aug 2019, he had flipped 51% of his Chania Green Energy to a Danish firm & was no longer Chair of Jamii Bora. 👇🏾

3. And who purchased Jamii Bora? CBA, of course! Enter the Kenyattas. Did they ever leave? CBA has now merged with NIC (where CS Macharia used to be MD) to form NCBA.

Gacheru. Kenyattas. Banks. Energy. Deals.

WaKenya: we protested fiercely yesterday.✊🏾👊🏾👏🏾

Today, CS @ketercharles leads the #OimekeTariffLies @energy_ke @KenyaPower brigade via the very hamstrung @dailynation to justify the theft.

Let me break it down.

#SwitchOffKPLC
2. WaKenya: there are 2 kinds of domestic consumers.

a) domestic lifeline (less than 100 units/mth = Sh10/unit)
b) domestic ordinary (more than 100 units/mth = Sh15.8/unit)

You MUST average either less or more than 100 units over 3mths to stay in a category.

#SwitchOffKPLC
3. WaKenya: so, if you are "lifeline" (Sh10) & by bad luck you exceed your 100 units - say to 110 units - on 1 of the months but on the other 2mths you were at 99, your 3mth average will be 102.6 units/mth.

You will be automatically moved to "domestic" (Sh15.8)

WaKenya: How did the 30 day @KenyaPower moratorium work out? Success?

KPLC is now coming after you. 👇🏿

Honestly, @MboyaApollo's Consent Orders for PET 6 (22.10.18) were a sham.

This is why.

#WhereIsMyKPLCRefund
1. WaKenya: Way back on 10.01.18, @KenyaPower admitted to overbilling consumers. 3.3 says that KPLC would launch a publicity campaign, & set up help desks. Did this happen?

No. KPLC disobeyed the court. Fraudulent billing continues to date.

#SwitchOffKPLC
#WhereIsMyKPLCRefund
2. WaKenya: On 1 August, @Kenya_Power issued a statement announcing the establishment of billing query counters & a 2wk moratorium for all those with concerns. Did you see those counters? Anywhere?

There were MANY disconnections during that time.
