Kenya Power #ticker:KPLC, the electricity distribution monopoly, has retreated from its earlier plan to phase out post-paid meters in a move it had said would have ended payment defaults.

Instead, it has invited bids for supply of nearly 200,000 post-paid meters signalling a U-turn on the plan that was to see it shift to the prepaid metering.
