Kenya Power has announced an extensive power outage in the country following a collapse of a high voltage electricity line connecting Kiambere to Embakasi in Nairobi.

The power supply agency said the incident happened at about 10:50 am on Tuesday.

“Our engineers are working to restore electricity supply as the repairs are being undertaken,” Kenya Power said in a statement.

The agency said the restoration progress update will be given in due course.

“We wish to apologise to our customers for the inconvenience caused,” the statement added.

A spot check by People Daily Digital across the country showed there was a power outage in almost every corner of the country.
