Kenya Power is set to start connecting Kenyans to the national grid at no pay in a new plan that seeks to increase the number of homes with electricity. The Ksh 34 billion project launched in May seeks to ensure that 70% of the Country is covered under the national grid by end of 2016.
Narok county MP Soipan Tuya met the Kenya power MD Ben Chumo who assured that the company has got plans to give narok a priority in the new connection.
Soipan who is also Chairperson of the
Implementation Committee has been in frontline making sure that new government plans hits her county most. The power current coverage is at 37 per cent.
“We will not ask people to pay the connection fees before we connect them. When we go to a place, we’ll connect everyone who is near a transformer and then they will pay. It is going to turn around this country. It will be a miracle to the economy,” Ben Chumo told the parliamentary committee on Appointment & Implementation
