Energy and Petroleum Principal Secretary Alex Wachira has announced that the government will connect 566,000 homes to the electricity grid at a cost of Sh42 billion.
The government aims to allocate money annually to have 90 to 95 per cent of all homes connected to power by 2030.
Wachira commissioned four new electrification projects, which will connect 600 households and institutions in Cianthia, Karerema, Cieria, and Kanyaga/Gitiburi to the national grid.
He said priority will be given to areas with low electricity, urging beneficiary communities to be vigilant against vandalism.
The projects will take about one month to build and will be free of charge.
Wachira expects the projects to transform the socioeconomic lives of the people.
