Kenya Power has launched an automated meter reading system utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to improve billing accuracy and efficiency. This initiative aims to address a long-standing source of customer complaints by minimizing human error associated with manual data entry.

• The system is being rolled out across all eight operating regions after a six-month pilot in Nairobi.
• Kenya Power aims to transition 1.8 million postpaid meters to the OCR-based system.
• Commercial Cycle Manager Richard Wida stated the OCR will "significantly cut the time taken and minimise inaccuracies linked to manual entry."
• This forms part of Kenya Power's broader digitalisation strategy, which also includes expanding its smart-metering program.

An Advocate of the High Court is calling on the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) to intervene and prevent the government from using Ksh72 billion in pension funds from the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) for the Rironi–Mau Summit Highway project.

• The advocate alleges President William Ruto's administration is illegally committing pensioners’ savings to the toll-road project without worker approval, potentially violating the Constitution and breaching fiduciary duties.
• The complaint, sent to LSK on November 20, argues that only Kenyan workers contributing to the NSSF have the right to determine how their retirement savings are invested.
• Concerns include committing savings to a 25–30 year toll concession without independent value-for-money or actuarial justification, exposing contributors to market, traffic, and renegotiation risks.
