Summary
The technical hitch means that businesses that use electricity to run their activities and had not purchased power before the problem set in could not continue with their operations.
The hitch also translates into lost sales for Kenya Power, which last year sold 8,171 gigawatt-hours (GWh) or 22.4 GWh per day.
Households and business suffered inconveniences and financial losses following a technical glitch in Kenya Power’s #ticker:KPLC token vending system that lasted about 24 hours.
The hitch, which started Sunday evening, was preventing customer transactions including bill queries, token purchases and payment of bills, until 1pm on Monday when it was resolved.
