President William Ruto yesterday said the government will allocate KSh500 million in the next financial year to regularise illegal electricity connections in Nairobi’s informal settlements.
He said his administration’s goal is to address poorly installed connections that have caused devastating fires: destroying homes, property, and, tragically, claiming lives.
This intervention will enhance safety and protect lives and livelihoods. He spoke In Kibra, Nairobi where he engaged the affected residents following a recent fire and donated food and mattresses to support their recovery. At the same time, he revealed that the State We will donate land to the Nairobi County Government for the construction of a fire station in Kibera, ensuring faster emergency response and better preparedness for future incidents.
He made the visit after attending a church service, in the neighbourhood, at AIC Kibera, where he was accompanied by among others, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
