[kictanet] KPLC should embrace technology and save kenyans millions

[John Kariuki]

I wish life was that simple.However,I am pursuaded that it is not.
What should be of concern is the issue of national infrastructure and the extent of private sector participation and whether even after privatisation the Government(read Citizens) still carry very substantial risks.
Remember, the recent financial crisis in the West, in particular US, where large sums of taxpayers money were used to bail out private companies whose top executives were at the same time paying themselves huge bonuses.

Conclusion: Even when you privatize, the tax payer still carries some risk!

Just some little food for thought.

I suggest we invite the Indians to form a second distribution company. However, am sure the suggestion will raise a lot of dust around about support for Kenyan investors. 

It is my opinion that we need to review a  lot of things starting with what we pay for power, and cost of commodities such as sugar. As long as the cost of Pakistan Cement in Nairobi is lower tha factory price of local cement and sugar costs twice what it costs in the region , we are in danger of the more efficient producers upsetting us one day.
