Our focus is to improve customer experience and satisfaction and we hope to achieve this through collaboration with KARA” said Eng. Korir.

These include; Development of the \”My Power\” app & *977# for reporting power outages and investment in the power grid to replace faulty infrastructure. He added that, Kenya Power also launched a five-year strategic plan in 2023 with customer centrality as a key pillar. Dr. Siror went on to call on the residents to assist in dealing with vandalism of power distribution infrastructure in their homes and neighborhoods.
