The president has hinted at reduction of electricity bill by removing a number of tax and levies that make the cost of electricity remain high. The high cost of electricity remains a major blockade to growing the economy.
President Uhuru Kenyatta said energy costs have been a top concern for most Kenyans and the government is keen to get an effective electricity costing model.
“We are also in discussion with a view to cutting some of the taxes and levies on power bills or, and I don’t want to raise your hopes, removing them altogether,” President Kenyatta said during the commission of Coca Cola’s new Sh7bn hot fill line.
