When night falls, Turkana County becomes the darkest county in Kenya. This is according to fresh statistics issued by Kenya Power. Of the county’s 152,862 households, only two per cent (2,617) are connected to electricity.
The county has a population of 992,001, bigger than the populations of Vihiga, Busia, Kericho, Narok, Laikipia, Nandi, Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo, Trans-Nzoia, Nyamira, Siaya, Nyandarua, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Garissa or Wajir. All these counties are more connected to power than Turkana, a county that has been plagued by incessant insecurity and drought.
