CS Opiyo Wandayi Reveals Cause of Nationwide Blackout
Speaking in Yatta constituency during the commissioning and launch of the Rural Electrification and Renewable Energy Corporation(REREC) projects, Wanadayi announced that the government will strive to address the outages as it promotes efficiency.
He expressed his utmost gratitude to Kenya Power and Lighting Company(KPLC) for acting on time despite the odd hours in which the outage occurred to ensure that the issue was resolved.
According to the CS, the power outage was a result of a technical hitch in the Tanzania-Kenya interconnector.
Wandayi’s remarks come against the backdrop of the latest power outage months after a similar one was witnessed in September this year.
At the time, the Wandayi who had just assumed office, was under pressure to explain the cause of the situation.
