[kictanet] Consumer Protection

Tue Feb 26 10:09:47 EAT 2013

Kplc need to have a reality check in top team, 3 days ago I had horrid experience with a fallen pole ,it took 2 days to get emergency services to respond and 10 frantic phone calls too to all the emergency  numbers in Stima Plaza, Karen office , officer A B C each assuring you of a repair team on its way. How I look forward to competition just like Telkom went thru and now they rue the impact on jobs and their shear existence.
 I hope to live to see competition for Kplc , that will be the beginning of freedom for industrial growth and affordable predictable energy tariffs
