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 👇🏾

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.

4. You do know that CBA bough M-Shwari from Safaricom in return for the Sh15B Nairobi City Camera deal that has now been scandalously varied to Sh45B through single sourcing approved by Pres Uhuru Kenyatta as per media reports.

Kenyattas. Banks. Safcom. Deals.

5. By the way, the case in the Court of Appeal challenging the city cameras deal was concluded with no other party in court as the ruling date was brought forward by 2mths without due notice. Both CJs Mutunga and Maraga could not override powerful interests.

6. But back to Mr. Gacheru & here's the kicker. A "Mr Gacheru" has been secretly given the politically stalled Kinangop Wind Farm. The same Govt blocked the sale of Kinangop turbines to other prospectives. Steering @PwC (by force) to deal with a "friendly" entity.

7. In 2013, Mr. Gacheru sat on the National Oil Board that is responsible for importing cheaper, crude oil for Kenya. They were to build oil ullage using your fuel levy (2009-2011 Gazette notices).

But Kenya Refinery equipment destroyed by @KenyaPower surges!

8. Under National Oil, oil importing companies skewed to GAPCO winning tenders for refined petroleum products. Some of these companies are allegedly connected to the Kenyatta family @StateHouseKenya & officials @EnergyMinK.

High prices are passed onto WaKenya.

9. This is why Pavel Oimeke #OimekeTariffLies @EPRA_Ke is always quick to cite drought to justify the Fuel Cost Charge on your electricity bill because the cartel-run diesel thermal IPPs must be paid. You should check out the EPRA board. Utashangaa.

10. WaKenya: crony capitalism is real. Gacheru & his wind farms. Kenyattas' banking + energy. Connect the dots (it's in the public domain), Seemingly unconnected deals are having a direct impact on elec bills.

This is why the cartels are afraid of Petition 59.
