.@HonAdenDuale has questioned power purchase agreements between @KenyaPower and Independent Power Producers saying the rates are inflated. - @TheStarKenya
The Garissa Township MP has sought a statement from @EnergyMinK to shed light on the agreements, which brings an additional Sh17 per unit charged to consumers. The MP says the power supply regime has regressive effects on the already overburdened taxpayers and businesses.
He cited data indicating that @KenyaPower procures electric power from IPPs at an inflated rate of Sh23 per kilowatt hour which compares lowly to the Sh0.5 per kilowatt hour charged by @KenGenKenya. The state power producer, though, says it charges Kenya Power Sh5.

Tanzania’s fifth president, John Pombe Magufuli, will be buried in his Chato hometown, in Geita region, northwestern Tanzania, today. Dr Magufuli was more than a handful, and there will be a lot of more personal things to say about his rule in the times ahead. - @cobbo3
At the big picture level, since the end of the 1960s in East Africa, no leader has shaken up a country in peacetime, and the region, in five years — for better and for worse — like Magufuli did.
One has to go back to the very opposite spectrum, to military dictator Field Marshal Idi Amin in Uganda, an avowed enemy of Tanzania and then President Julius Nyerere, to find something close.

Tanzanian President John Magufuli was discharged from Nairobi Hospital while on life support and flown to Dar es Salaam late last week after doctors concluded that he could not be resuscitated, the Nation has established. - @NationAfrica
The President, who was flown to Kenya secretly on March 8 after suffering acute cardiac and respiratory illnesses, was under intubation when a decision was made to fly him back home.
Magufuli’s entry and exit from Kenya was a guarded affair, that only select National Intelligence Service (NIS) officials and members of the National Security Advisory Committee were aware of.
