Homes and businesses will from Sunday pay 15 percent more for electricity after President William Ruto opted against extending a multibillion-shilling subsidy initiated by his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta.
Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) director-general Daniel Kiptoo said the 15 percent discount would not be extended beyond its expiry date of December 31, setting the stage for costly electricity and pressure on the sky-high inflation.
