Consumers feel the heat of electricity bills

Average power bills in the country edged up towards their all-time highs last month, piling pressure on household budgets, according to newly released inflation data.

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) data shows that power bills for homes that consume 200 kilowatt hours (kWh) per month, mostly middle class, rose to Sh4,122, just Sh200 shy of the all-time of Sh4,322 witnessed in April.
