Netizens React as Ruto is Forced to Deliver Speech in Darkness After 2 Blackouts.
Netizens React as Ruto is Forced to Deliver Speech in Darkness After 2 Blackouts: President William Ruto was on Wednesday forced to deliver his speech in darkness after two power outages at the closing stages of the National Executive Retreat in Naivasha.
Ruto was addressing Cabinet Secretaries, and was explaining his government’s agenda and why he handpicked them to help him deliver his mandate when lights went off.
The commander in chief could be heard struggling to deliver his speech momentarily before the lights were restored.
The reason why I appointed you is that I knew you have the capacity to do the job you are doing,” Ruto stated before the lights went off.
The incident occurred twice within five minutes, the second one occurring just when he was about to end his speech.
However, despite being interrupted twice, Ruto did not comment on the matter, but instead proceeded to complete his speech.
This comes amid complaints over frequent power outages in various parts of the country, forcing Kenyans to resort to alternative means of power supply
While chairing a cabinet meeting, the Head of State disclosed that frequent power outages were hurting Kenya’s investment profile.
The Cabinet resolved that the Bomet transmission line system should be unbundled so that power failure in one part of the nation does not affect the entire country.
The cabinet statement read, “The move, which involves the separation of generation, transmission and distribution of power, will ensure that the entire country is not thrown into darkness if a line fails.”
