The government has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing the nuclear energy programme in line with international safety standards, terming it an enabler of the country's industrialisation agenda.

The Kenya Nuclear Regulatory Authority (KNRA) and Nuclear Power and Energy Agency (Nupea) stated that Kenya will not be left behind as most countries shift to low-carbon energy.
