The Power Outage Hits: Chaos and DisruptionWhen the power outage struck, Kenya was thrown into chaos and disruption. The Grid Suppliers’ Exchange of BlameAs Kenya’s citizens demanded answers about the cause of the power outage, grid suppliers engaged in a blame game, shifting responsibility for the incident. The national power company, Kenya Power, blamed inadequate power supply from independent power producers (IPPs) for the blackout. Additionally, the IPPs accused Kenya Power of mismanagement and corruption, suggesting that these issues contributed to the power outage. Government agencies and regulators should actively monitor and enforce compliance with power supply agreements between Kenya Power and independent power producers.
