They have also advised their customers to access the same services through KPLC banking halls countrywide.

Customers can also purchase tokens or pay their bills via USSD code *977#.

This means that all the third-party agents offering the services on behalf of KPLC have been edged out of the business.

The company has also issued a disclaimer absolving itself of any liabilities for any transactions performed outside its platform.

"Please note that no other third-party agent is authorised to offer these services on behalf of KPLC. The Company will therefore not take liability for any transaction conducted through any other platform," the notice cautioned.
