Kenya Power has been cleared to buy transformers worth Sh3.9 billion within days following a tendering row, a decision that will help plug a shortage occasioned by the country’s growing demand for electricity connections.

The Public Procurement Administrative Review Board (PPARB) dismissed a petition by one of the interested bidders, Empower Transformers, which was pushing for delivery of the transformers beyond the set 14 days.
