in addition to Kivuva's remarks, I always wonder, why are Kenyan parastatals/public and state owned companies so keen on making profits? Who told them their core mandate is to make profits? Why do they spend good money on media campaigns, praising themselves for making profits? What use is that profit, eg by KPLC if its not more wananchi getting electricity (or the ones on the grid getting reliable power?)<br>
