Not you still needed to key it in..but I guess Safaricom will simply stick a sim card and mini controller into every of those meters. Should be easy to replace all meters - and have that smart meetering with smart monitoring.

In kenya systems are designed to fail because there is someone m a king money and capitalizing on system failure. Big question who has heavily invested on those generators, wind and solar? 99.9% kenyatta criminal enterprise.
