“Following a recent system disruption that led to delays in the processing and delivery of prepaid tokens, we are glad to inform our customers that the issue was resolved yesterday (Monday,” said Kenya Power

The firm also added that it had processed and sent out all electricity tokens purchased by respective customers via M-PESA.

Customers have been asked to purchase tokens through M-PESA, the myPower app, or by dialing *977#.
