With power black outs being the order of the day for some and complaints from homes and industry at its highest the company made a decision to change. They brought on board a new management and over the last two years they have been working hard to give the name of the organization a new face. The culmination of the work was the branding ceremony that was witnessed at the ultra modern KICC.<\/p>\n<p>The organization spared no expense to show its new face with award winning singer Nameless giving his usual energetic performance. The singer did a good job but was almost upstaged by the KPLC board of Directors Engineer John Kariuki and the energy minister with some of their chini kwa chini tunes.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Originally posted here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106280046.html\" title=\"A New Era for KPLC\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A New Era for KPLC<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Nairobi Star (Nairobi) James Murua 25 June 2011 &#8220;You have made the minister smile!&#8221; These were the first words from energy minister Kiraitu Murungi to the audience at the KICC.
