Several Kenyans are at risk of missing out on electricity connections to their homes and businesses due to financial challenges facing the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (KETRACO).
A recent report indicates that KETRACO is under mounting pressure from financial risks amounting to Ksh12.97 billion, stemming from unresolved court cases, contractor claims and pending compensation for land use.
Members of the Public Investments Committee on Energy on Tuesday, July 29, warned that these challenges could significantly undermine the company's ability to deliver vital energy infrastructure.
This followed a session in which the Committee, chaired by Pokot South MP David Pkosing, met with KETRACO's leadership to scrutinise audited accounts covering the financial years 2018/19 to 2022/23.
