Still on matters of electricity, the auditor general has called for a review of power purchase agreements as one of the recommendations in reducing high power costs. Speaking before the National Assembly Departmental Committee on Energy, Deputy Auditor General Stanley Mwangi also urged Kenya Power management to contract only the necessary IPPs to bridge the power gap and prevent losses.
