Why Tokens Sometimes Get Delayed

Payment gateway or M-Pesa processing delays may hold the transaction before KPLC issues the token.
You might have entered the wrong meter number during purchase; the token goes to the entered meter.
System maintenance or temporary outages at KPLC or the payment provider can delay delivery. Bizna Kenya+1
