Kenya Power has written off an additional Sh2 billion in unpaid electricity bills that it has lost hope of recovering, underlining the impact of customer defaults on the utility. 

For context, this amount is higher than the total dividend of Sh1.3 billion at Sh0.70 per share that the utility is poised to give its shareholders after a six-year payout drought.
