Listed electrical cables and conductor maker East African Cables (EA Cables) has bagged a Sh232 million deal to supply the products to Kenya Power, pointing to growing preference by the State-owned power utility to source materials from local manufacturers.
The first batch of the consignment was dispatched on Thursday with the cable manufacturer's CEO Paul Muigai stating that the firm is on course to service the order placed by Kenya Power in several batches running throughout to the end of the year.
