Empowering Marsabit County: Connecting to the National Grid

David Saruni, Acting County Commissioner of Marsabit County, discusses the transformative impact of connecting Marsabit County to the national grid. With an expansive area of 70,000 square kilometres and a population of 515,000, Marsabit faces numerous challenges exacerbated by unreliable power supply.
Mr. Saruni highlights how power outages have affected security, communication, and business operations, particularly in vital sectors like hospitality and agriculture. The initiative to connect Marsabit to the national grid, led by KETRACO, promises to enhance reliability, reduce costs, and stimulate economic growth.
