wrongturn
Elder Lister
we keep blaming politicians but we enjoy when we are on the benefit end, yani kuna wakenya buying tokens cheaply sazile tunanyoroshwa mbaya. We need the white man to come back and take leadership again.
Not every Kenyan is buying the expensive electricity tokens from Kenya Power. Some rogue Kenya Power employees have established a pre-paid token selling syndicate through which some consumers secure tokens more than ten times their value.
A Nation investigation has unearthed the fresh token scandal at the cash-strapped utility firm that has raised concerns that Kenya Power could be losing more millions every week to an intricate web that has seen buyers get more than their rightful share of power tokens.
The Nation established that staff at the electricity distributor have manipulated the system to generate payment codes for illegal buyers who get way higher units than usual.
For instance, the Nation spent Sh2,500 to buy prepaid tokens from Kenya Power using the 888880 online payment code and received 138.28 units.
On the same day, another Sh2,500 was spent on buying tokens, only this time the Nation dealt directly with a staff who works at the IT department.
Before payment of Sh2,500 was done, a code was sent, the units read 20.53 before the code was entered on the meter.
Immediately the units increased to 1234.47, meaning for Sh2,500, we got 1213.94 units. The interesting part about the units obtained illegally is that the more you use power, the more the units accumulate.
Four days after loading the fraudulent tokens, they had risen to 1244.
