Today has seen the entire nation experience a power outage for hours, all thanks to a power outage occasioned by a collapsed high-voltage line on the Kiambere-Embakasi area.
Aaccording to the state-controlled Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), the collapse of the high-voltage line collapse at 10.45 AM today brought about the power blackout the country over, and the effects of it cannot be understated. “We have lost power supply due to collapsed towers on the Kiambere-Embakasi high-voltage transmission power line at 10.45 AM this morning,” issued KPLC while assuring users that they were hard at work to foresee its restoration.
They have since restored the power supply, amid a humongous amount of uproar on social media with people expressing angst and frustration by frequent blackouts. Others are not convinced that it really was a collapsed pole and have conspiracy theories about what could be going on.
