The public procurement watchdog has directed Kenya Power to explain why it awarded a new electricity meters supply tender to a firm that failed to fully honour a previous contract three years ago.
The Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) in a letter to Kenya Power managing director Joseph Siror pointed out that the firm, Smart Meters Technology Ltd, had an order to supply 91,000 smart meters by July 24, 2020, but had not done so as evidenced by a purchase order report.
