KPLC tokens can be very frustrating at times due to inconveniences caused by the delay. When Dynamo pawa was launched, they vowed to change this narrative but from what I have been observing lately, Dynamo Pawa as a company has outlived its purpose. When Dynamo Pawa was launched some time back, it promised Kenyans convenience when it came to purchasing KPLC tokens via M-Pesa.
For the better part of 2018, the company was delivering its promise until late 2018 when I started to receive tons of comments from my esteemed readers expressing their discontent towards Dynamo tokens. From the comments on this article, it is clear that Dynamo Pawa has relegated its promise to Kenyans.
Since I believe in giving people value, I have decided to eliminate Dynamo pawa from my list of convenient companies you could buy tokens from. From my experience, the fastest way of buying KPLC tokens today has been through the KPLC pay bill number 888880.
I stopped using Dynamo after I was frustrated just like you guys and the KPLC PAYBILL number 888880 has been my GO TO. Upon purchasing the token using the Paybill number 888880, KPLC sends the tokens almost immediately and the longest I have had to wait is 5 minutes.
Using this process, the user follows the normal procedure provided by Safaricom.
Buying Tokens Using PAYBILL 888880
- Open the Mpesa menu
- select the Lipa na Mpesa option
- Go to pay bills
- Enter 888880 as the business number
- Enter the meter number as the account number.
- The next step involves entering the amount of money followed by pin and confirmation. The user receives the tokens through a text message instantly after the purchase

Guys, beware, I smell a scam here. The number of unresolved token requests and the phone numbers that do not go through at all whatever time of day, are the ingredients of a scam. Once you cannot reconcile the tokens with the funds sent what do you think they’ll do with the excess cash? Someone’s smiling all the way to the ? somewhere….
NBQ056OGCW Confirmed. Ksh500.00 sent to DYNAMO DIGITAL COMPANY LIMITED for account 54600696048 on 26/2/19 at 8:23 PM.

Why are your customer care department not answering my phone calls even when free?
I have called five times totalling to over 40 minutes and nobody bothers to answer even when they are free. I have wasted my airtime following what I ought not to follow.
Your team is not serious and this is Not the way to do business in a competitive environment
