An estimated 680,000 Kenyan homes might have been illegally connected to the national grid in 2019, leading to massive system losses that cost Kenya Power billions, analysis of official data shows.
A new report from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) reveals a variance of 678,684 between the number of people who said they are connected during the 2019 census and the official figures given by power distributor Kenya Power on domestic connections the same year.
