Electricity distributor Kenya Power #ticker:KPLC has raised the alarm over low consumption and high payment default rate in rural areas hurting its business, even as the State continues to connect more households under initiatives such as the Last Mile Connectivity project.

Kenya Power managing director Bernard Ngugi said some rural customers could not repay the connection loans while others lacked electrical appliances to boost consumption.
