There is no problem..even is they charge more...this is money circulating within the Kenyan Economy...Diesel is bad because it is taking our wealth away....I hate the 300MW wind project...it is owned by some Foreigners and will just be a drain for our resources...Concentrate on making core industries locally owned to prevent loss of our wealth (making us poorer)
