ITEM 4.   CHANGE IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

     On February 5, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors, upon
recommendation of the Board's Audit Committee, approved the
engagement of the accounting firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the
independent public accountants to audit and certify the Company's
financial statements for 2002, subject to ratification and
approval by the shareholders of the Company.  The services of the
accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, who previously
served as Great Plains Energy Incorporated's and Kansas City
Power & Light Company's independent public accountants, were
notified on February 8, 2002 that their services would be
discontinued effective with the completion of the audit of the
December 31, 2001 financial statements.  The Company solicited
bids from independent public accounting firms and the Audit
Committee of the Board recommended a change of auditors after
reviewing and evaluating the audit services offered by the
accounting firms and the costs associated with such services.

     In connection with the audits of the consolidated financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 and the
subsequent interim period through February 25, 2002, there have
been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any
matters of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if
not resolved to their satisfaction, would have caused
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to make references thereto in
connection with its reports on the financial statements for such
years.  PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP's reports on the financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 did not
contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or
accounting principles.
