Obtuseness • Why is it so hard to get connected to power, even just 10 metres from an electricity post and have paid for it, wonders university don X. N. Iraki. “Some people have waited for over a year. One strange excuse is that there are no meters, of all things, yet Kenya Power complains of making losses. How can you refuse customers’ money? Over to you, Kenya Power!” His contact is [email protected].
