The government has allocated Sh 10.3 billion for the Last Mile Electricity Connectivity Project in the Mt.
Kenya region.
Speaking on Friday to residents of Matathia village of Thika East at Kilimambogo, Energy Principal Secretary Alex Wachira reaffirmed the government's commitment to lighting up every corner of the country.
He noted that the funding is part of a broader Sh42 billion Last Mile Electricity Program launched by President Ruto to expand affordable power access to underserved communities. "Electricity is not just about light-it's about powering opportunities, the initiative will unlock business potential, enhance security, and drive development in areas such as Thika East and beyond," Wachira said.
