Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'oei has explained the Parliamentary Budget Office's (PBO) report that Kenya has the highest electricity prices in East and Central Africa.
In a statement on social media, Sing'oei confirmed the assertion but also noted that Kenyans also have the highest electricity access in the region.
This, he stated, led to high costs being accrued for building and maintaining the electricity infrastructure.
However, he concurred that there might be inefficiencies that, if streamlined, could lower the high cost. "True, but Kenya also has the highest electricity access rate in the region," Sing'oei stated.
