The Association, through the Chief Executive Officer, was part of the KEPSA delegation that met with ERC, Kenya Power, Kengen and other players in the sector to lobby against the increase in power tariffs.

We also made the same concerns known to the President-Elect and his Deputy when the Private Sector met them recently.

We made our presentation and we were listened to and through a statement made by the Deputy President, William Ruto in a meeting of Ministry of Energy, Kenya Power, the ERC and Ministry of Finance officials the Government has said that it will not allow any tariff increases, and has asked power distributor should find other means of raising revenue.

Our energy producers should explore better means and more avenues for generating power cheaply other than moving to raise tariffs.
