The Loiyangalani-Suswa electricity transmission line is set to cost taxpayers billions of shillings in the latest debacle over the controversial line.

This is in the wake of the collapse of four transmission towers at Longonot last December, which could prove a costly affair for taxpayers.

Other than the cost of temporary restoration achieved on January 1, the line now has to be restored permanently.
