Kenya Power is in the eye of a storm over shortage of electricity meters in the country with local manufacturers accusing the utility firm of causing the artificial shortage.

The development comes after four local manufacturers said they could meet the demand for the meters in the country. However, Kenya Power has avoided signing contracts with them to supply the meters to meet the growing demand.
