Kenya Power has cancelled the tender for a Technical Adviser
- KenPower was seeking an Adviser for its restructuring process
- Issues apologies to prospective bidders
In a surprising twist, the state-owned utility, Kenya Power (KenPower), has cancelled an earlier advertised tender process for technical advisory services. KenPower sought the services of a Technical Adviser to implement the restructuring plans to address the company’s rising debt profile, staff costs, and electricity theft.
In a statement issued by the company, the General Manager, Supply Chain and Logistics, John Ngeno, said, “The expression of interest for procurement of consultancy services support, for the development and subsequent implementation of a comprehensive transformation strategy for Kenya Power and Lighting Company is hereby cancelled”.
KenPower had previously amended the initial tender advert following a threat by Labour Unions to embark on strike action on its plan to retrench some workers. However, the company has issued an apology to prospective bidders following the total cancellation of the tender process.
