The Treasury will disburse Sh6 billion to Kenya Power #ticker:KPLC as part of the Sh11.9 billion the government owes the utility firm for managing the electricity network under the rural electricity scheme.

Energy Cabinet secretary Charles Keter said the money had been factored in the supplementary budget and is expected to draw by January 2020 to help relieve the utility firm suffering under heavy debt and decreased earnings.
