Hakuna tokens! Kenya Power announces maintenance, leaves parts of the country in darkness

Kenya Power has announced maintenance of its power systems
in parts of the country in a move that has affected purchasing of electricity
tokens.

Through its twitter handle, Kenya Power made the Tuesday,
August 3 announcement informing Kenyans of a power black-out tomorrow.

“Good evening. The following areas are scheduled for
maintenance tomorrow, Wednesday 4th of August 2021,” Kenya Power said.

After the announcement by Kenya Power, a section of Kenyans
found it difficult to access their electricity tokens through mobile money
payment on Tuesday night.

“Transaction failed, M-PESA cannot complete payment of
Ksh100.00 to KPLC PREPAID. Organization receiving the payment is unavailable,
try again later,” a message from Safaricom said.

Here are areas within Nairobi, Bomet, Kisii, Embu, Samburu and Machakos counties that will be affected by tomorrow’s power maintenance by Kenya Power.
