At Turtle Bay in Watamu, one of the most touristic areas in all of Kenya, we remained without electricity for more than 30 hours: an unheard of disgrace.

The last three weeks power went off and…

The last three weeks power went off and on the whole day. Nearly every afternoon around 4pm the power went off and came back, if at all, in the night.
Power available in 24h was roughly 50per cent.
Customer service tells, "...we will send a team 'early in the morning'"
They came at 2pm repaired (!!!) and left. 40minutes later it was off again.
This is ongoing for the last 42 hours.
If kenya power had to face competition they'd last weeks.
This terrible Buisiness has to be sold on the market, the management fired and competent people employed without connections to politicians.

This company enjoys monopoly inawapea Kiburi,no problem of power outage can be fixed without a bribe. You call about a complain then they will reply it has been resolved without them even handling the problem. KPLC is the worst and needs total changes there in

I was really disappointed especially when I had really good hopes of assistance. I went in explaining my issue and they told me they are busy and looked super disinterested in my issue. Furthermore, called customer care to complain and they told me there is nothing they can do about it and yet it's my money on the line. I'll just let that money go like that but this is the Worst and most despicable company I've ever seen.

Terrible Customer Service

I recently had to contact KPLC for assistance with a billing issue, and I must say that I was extremely disappointed with the level of customer service that I received.

Firstly, it was incredibly difficult to reach a live representative. When I finally managed to speak to a representative, the person on the other end of the line was unhelpful and seemed disinterested in my problem.

Even worse, the representative seemed to be more interested in getting me off the phone quickly than actually resolving my issue.

Overall, I was extremely dissatisfied with the customer service that I received from KPLC. It's disappointing to see such a lack of professionalism and care for customers.

Lack of Customer Care

My CIU stopped working three weeks ago and I have called and reported at least twice a week since then and have not found anyone to help me. What do I need to do to get assistance? My work is really suffering.
