Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen was left frustrated after a power failure interrupted his speech during the official rollout of the National Mobile Registration Outreach Programme in Nakuru County.
The blackout, which lasted about a minute, occurred as Murkomen was delivering a speech about reforms in national identity cards issuance. Murkomen was momentarily left unable to deliver his speech after the outage, as technicians scrambled to restore power using a backup generator.
While entertainers at the event attempted to quell some tension through song and dance, their efforts did little to ease the CS's frustration. Once power was restored, Murkomen was quick to call out the technical team responsible for managing the event's audio and power systems over what he described as a lack of preparedness.
