By June 2020, @kenyapower owed

-Sh23.7B to @KenGenKenya
-Sh19.48B to IPPs
-Sh4.67B to @KETRACO1

The electricity sector is a hotbed of theft. MES & #Covid19Millionaires look tame by comparison.

WaKenya could lose up to Sh6T!

2. Broadly, @KenyaPower owes Sh65B & anticipates Sh29.5B from consumers & the govt.

Q. How does a de facto monopoly FAIL to be profitable?

A.The trinity of generation+transmission+distribution/sale
is for the profit of a select, politically connected group.

#SwitchOffKPLC

3. Tariffs - under the corrupt & watchful eye of @EPRA_Ke - will remain high because parastatals & IPPs are OVERSUPPLYING electricity .

We pay for UNUSED electricity through rigged Power Purchase Agreements & yet more bleeding via the happily corrupt @KETRACO1.

#SwitchOffKPLC

4. @EnergyMinK oversees this corruption with the full blessings of @StateHouseKenya & complicity of the 'brown-envelope' National Assembly+Senate.

The Least Cost Power Development Plan (LCPDP) 2017-2037 details the stealing plans incl. 'clean' energy & nuclear.

#SwitchOffKPLC

5. So, @KenyaPower with its conflict-of-interest Board where the PS @EnergyMinK also sits, cannot be profitable because it carries the burden of a chain of corrupt practices.

On top of this, KPLC has also stolen Sh150B from itself according to @DCI_Kenya Kinoti.

6. The energy cartels poured money to shut down Petitions 6 & 59 in Oct/Nov 2018.

Since Dec 2018, #EJ6 @WanjeriNderu @hotshotcreative @KingFredAsira @eva_m_mutua & James Gitau have been fighting to reopen the two petitions.

These petitions will change our lives.

#SwitchOffKPLC

7. The Judiciary @Kenyajudiciary @dkmaraga should be BOLD enough to withstand cartel pressure; & rely on fidelity to the COK + the rule of law.

WaKenya will then enjoy affordable electricity, which will stimulate the economy & increase the Ksh in Wanjiku's purse.

Wakenya, with few hours to go before we vote for our future, here's some more about the state capture, cronyism & investor shakedowns in the energy sector especially in wind power.

Vote wisely & break the yoke around your neck & mine.

2. As we queue for unga, remember that energy prices - bus fare, fuel, kerosene & electricity bills affect our cash flow and interferes with our ability to manage our household budgets & whether you will eat your ugali with mboga or nyama. Yaani kusukuma wiki.

3. Kinangop Wind Power was a 60 MW project in central Kenya. Hundreds of local farmers were set to benefit as the wind turbines were to be erected on their farms, and wayleave transiting the area would have seen these farmers get huge amounts 💵💵💵.

Did you catch this yesterday?

So: Gulf Energy (acquired by Rubis) illegally imports 30,000MT of fuel on 30Dec '21 & quietly off loaded it until 2Jan '22. No public tendering whatsoever. Gulf "mysteriously" jumped the queue ahead of 4 vessels with legal imports.

#WhoOwnsRubis

2. The 4 vessels attracted demurrage of Ksh100M that will be passed on to us @ the pump. OMAK raised the alarm @DCI_Kenya @EACCKenya @EPRA_Ke
@Petro_MiningKE & threatened legal action.

The Rubis CEO Jean-Christian Bergerone clutched his pearls & feigned outrage.

#WhoOwnsRubis

3. Bergerone roundly condemned the illegal importation [his company's import] & proposed that the loot be shared with OMAK members. Rubis breaks the law & plays victim. Maajabu.

You can be sure @DCI_Kenya @EACCKenya @EPRA_Ke @Petro_MiningKE will do nothing.

Dear @RailaOdinga @WilliamsRuto:

What are your respective policy positions on electricity - the cornerstone of our economic growth.

#IfYouWantMyVote

Hint: no slogans, fake or populist promises. Uhuru Kenyatta has already used them all. #SwitchOffKPLC

businessdailyafrica.com/bd/opinion-ana…

2. Uhuru Kenyatta's talk of cheap electricity was, well, cheap.

This is the 5th year of the #SwitchOffKPLC campaign.

Do NOT vote for anyone who spews rhetoric but has no policy position on electricity whose bills loot Wanjiku's kibeti. #IfYouWantMyVote

3. As I was saying to all those presidential hopefuls. . .

Dear @CJMarthaKoome:

Be advised that your Deputy Registrar, Constitutional Division (Milimani), has repeatedly declined to sign our Petition 6 Notice of Appeal that #EnergyJustice6 filed on November 5th 2020.

We have been forced to write to @Kenyajudiciary

#SwitchOffKPLC

2. When Apollo Mboya secretly settled Petition 6 of 2018, he was awarded costs to be paid by @KenyaPower & @EPRA_Ke. This is in addition to an amount he allegedly received to kill the case focusing on the theft of OUR Sh10.1B by KPLC.

#SwitchOffKPLC

3. #EnergyJustice6 sought to revive the case in court because Apollo should not have settled it privately. This is about high bills, vendor cartels & thieves.

When denied yet again, we filed a Notice of Appeal on November 5th 2020. @CJMarthaKoome @Kenyajudiciary

2. Basic Structure Doctrine is applicable in Kenya.

3. The Constitution of Kenya is inoculated from the mischief of those (eg. The Handshake Bros) who would "design" a "popular" initiative - using state resources - in the form of an amendment bill that alters fundamental underpinnings of the COK.
