President William Ruto of Kenya was forced to deliver his speech in darkness on Thursday after two power outages at the closing stages of the National Executive Retreat in Naivasha.
Ruto was addressing Cabinet Secretaries and explaining his government’s agenda and why he chose them to help him deliver his mandate when the lights went off.
The Head of State could be heard struggling to deliver his speech momentarily before the lights were restored.
The incident occurred twice within five minutes, with the second one occurring just as 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.
