George Samuel Mwabusa has been working for Kenya Power and lighting PLC since 1998, in the course of his daily activités, the main objectives were to deliver services to their esteemed cutsomers. However, a gap was realised due to KPLC’s focus on business objectives which in most cases were not aligned to customer needs, even though the business seemed to be doing well. A focucs to deliver specific objectives was of great importance to ensure segregation of income based on the activities being carried out within KPLC. A number of projects being implemented within KPLC laid focus on conectivity and were not easy to mornitor and evaluate as project activities were not well defned, neither were the objectives cleary stated. This lead to haphazard implentaion of projects without clear peoject activities and made it quite challenging to evaluate project perfomance .

As a result, He decided to improve his knowlegde by studying a masters course in Project Planning and Management in the University of Nairobi in order to broaden his knowledge in the management of projects. He had earlier parsued a Bachelors of Technology Course in Moi University where he graduated with Second Class Honors, Upper Division Bachelors D of Technology in Electrical and Communication Engineering.
