Parliament has asked the Treasury and the Ministry of Energy to pay Sh43 billion that power utilities such as Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco), Kenya Power and Geothermal Development Company (GDC) owe various entities.
The National Assembly’s Committee on Energy says the pending payments comprise Sh22.2 billion that Ketraco owes, Kenya Power (Sh19.6 billion) and Sh1.2 billion for GDC arising from works done by contractors, budgetary constraints, litigation and wayleave compensation.
