NAIROBI, Kenya Mar 04 – Kenya Power said it had restored electricity in most parts of the country after a nationwide blackout that lasted three hours.

Most parts of the country experienced a major power blackout from 6pm, sparking uproar online.

In most areas, power was restored at 9pm.

The country’s sole power distributor attributed the outage to a fault on the Suswa-Loyangalani transmission line in what it described as a “system disturbance.”

“We have lost bulk power supply to various parts of the country due to a system disturbance,” it said earlier in a statement.

Even though Kenya experiences power outages, it is rare for it to affect the whole country.
