Kenya Power, the main electricity distributor in Kenya, is advising its prepaid customers to stock up on electricity tokens before a planned system upgrade slated for this coming weekend.

The upgrade, aimed at improving service delivery, will necessitate a 24-hour outage of the prepaid token vending system.

“The prepaid token vending system will be unavailable from 10:00 PM, Sunday, 2nd June to 10:00 PM, Monday, 3rd June,” Kenya Power stated in a press release issued on Monday.

During this period, customers will be unable to purchase tokens from any of the usual vending points, including Kenya Power offices, M-PESA Paybill number 888880, Airtel Money, and banking channels.

“We therefore wish to advise our pre-paid customers to buy enough tokens before then to avoid any inconvenience,” the power company urged.
