The incident comes just days after a similar power outage was experienced in many parts of the country.
On Friday night, August 30, Kenya Power confirmed an outage of electricity in most parts of the country except the North Rift region and sections of the Western region.
“We regret any inconvenience caused and urge for patience from our customers as we work towards restoring normalcy at the earliest opportunity,” Kenya Power said in a statement.
On Saturday morning, August 31, electricity was still not restored to many parts of the country before being restored later in the day.
The latest power outage comes after Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi on Thursday, September 5, vowed to reduce the number of power blackouts in the country.
