NAIROBI, Kenya, Sep 6 – Kenya Power has announced a partial nationwide power cut, impacting thousands of households and businesses.
The utility firm, however, says that areas in North Rif and Western have not been impacted.
“We are experiencing a power outage affecting several parts of the country, except sections of North Rift and Western regions,” Kenya Power said in a statement.
“We apologise for the inconvenience and kindly ask for your patience as our engineers work swiftly to restore service.”
This comes less than a week after Nairobi and other parts of Kenya experienced power cuts.
This is not the first time that Kenyans are being treated to a massive blackout after a similar cutout occurred in December last year.
The outage caused major disruptions in the manufacturing and aviation sectors as well as other areas of the economy due to shutdowns.
