1 SHARES Share TweetNAIROBI, Feb. 19 (Xinhua) — Kenya’s electricity imports from Ethiopia rose dramatically in 2023 as Addis Ababa became the largest source of outside power supplier for the East African nation, according to Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). Kenya imported 668.07 million kilowatt-hour (KWh) of power from Ethiopia last year, up from only 12.61 million kWh in 2022, the KNBS said in a new report released Monday.

To most of you who see matters in a different light, I encourage looking into the future not through a crystal ball but through another glass. Maybe it’s time I heeded that evil crystal ball after all.
