As I watched the re-branding of KPLC to Kenya power I asked myself
a question which I've asked before
Why do we pay them to get connections and transformers closer
to us? i.e the Umeme pamoja scheme. Where do customers pay for a
service to be brought to them? I mean their business is selling
power. Do safaricom and the other networks ask us to pa to set
up base stations, I dunno the exact cost but I'm sure it's much
more than the cost of a transformer and 2km of power lines!
Isn't a business supposed to spend money on infrastructure? The
mobile networks spend billions every year in expansion. Kenya
Airways spends billions to acquire new aircraft to fill with
passengers etc.
I think this is just an antiquated business model back from
the parastatal days. Hey even their sister company Kengen does
not ask us to pay for new generators...
Just thinking...
