Encourage power use beyond lighting bulbs

The current efforts by the Government to provide electricity will go a long way in bettering the lives of the more than 28 million Kenyans who are yet to access it.

Before the launch of the Last Mile connectivity project in May 2015, 65 per cent of Kenyans lacked access to electricity, partly due to high cost of connection, wiring and monthly usage. However, in the project, the connection fee has been halved from the standard Sh30,000 to Sh15,000, which can be paid in instalments through the monthly electricity bills for a period of three to five years.
