Kenya Power technicians at work in Manyatta Constituency. [Múríthi Múgo, Standard]Like most Kenyans, I have been transfixed by the goings-on in Uasin Gishu County this past week. In my view, given its importance to the lives and livelihoods of millions of Kenyans, no public entity exemplifies this sickening phenomenon better than the Kenya Power & Lighting Company (KPLC). In the 90s, we witnessed the downfall of once-monopolistic giants like Kenya Posta and Kenya National Assurance. I believe events in Uasin Gishu have given us a foretaste of what is to come.
