Kumbe KPLC is the spot to be if you want to We have always thought that government pays poorly, but KPLC is proving us wrong with latest developments coming out from the power monopoly.

Senior managers, however, ordinarily earn multiple times what the lower-level employees receive.The power distributor’s staff count increased by 162, or 1.5 per cent, which is significantly lower than the jump in total earnings. The disclosures, contained in the NSE-listed firm’s latest annual report, attribute the disproportionate jump in wages to salary reviews implemented for management and unionisable staff. The report read:

“To motivate and harness the potential of human capital in the business, management implemented salary reviews for management staff following approval from the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. Union-represented employees had their terms also reviewed following implementation of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA)."

But these figures pale in comparison to KenGen, whose Sh6.9 billion wage bill equals an average of Sh233,443 for each of its 2,476 workers. Kumbe working in the energy sector, especially with one of this monopolies is the way to go.

Remember, they recently stated that they would backdate some 8 billion in fees that Kenyans have not paid. How convenient.
