Kenya apologises for nationwide power outages

The Kenyan transport minister expressed regret for a massive power failure that impacted the entire nation. This caused passengers at Nairobi‘s main airport to be stuck in the dark. Due to the blackout that started on Friday evening, numerous houses and shops are currently without electricity.

The government-owned power company has not given a clear explanation for the reason behind the power failure.

People on social media are wondering why the airport didn’t have a backup system that worked, and they are being very critical of the energy ministry.

Some business owners are taking advantage of the chance to promote their solar products.

Reporters say that brief electricity cuts happen quite often in Kenya, but a prolonged blackout affecting the entire country is very unusual.
