The latest outage follows the August 30th blackout, which similarly affected most parts of Kenya, excluding the North Rift and Western regions. The recurrent power failures have raised concerns among the public regarding the reliability of the country’s power infrastructure.
Kenya Power has yet to provide a comprehensive explanation for the repeated disruptions, leaving many to speculate on potential causes such as technical failures or operational challenges. The company is expected to provide more details as efforts to restore power continue.
Many citizens have taken to social media to express their frustration over the recurring blackouts, while businesses in affected regions brace for further economic disruptions.
