The solid salt of potassium and iodine, potassium iodide (KI) conducts poorly, as do all salts, which are ionic compounds. But lets look at another situation. KI will conduct very well when it is in solution. All salts are good conductors when in solution. Salts, being ionic compounds, "break down" in water when they dissolve. They dissociate into ions, and in the case of potassium iodide, into K+ and I- ions. These ions are mobile in solution, and they'll support current flow.
