Nationwide Blackout | Kenya plunged into darkness for the third time in less than three months

In what is becoming a disturbing and mysterious trend, the country has once again been plunged into darkness in yet another national power supply failure. This is the third countrywide blackout in a period of only three months. The power outage paralyzed services across the country, including Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, where essential services were disrupted after the generator failed to pick up yet again. In a statement Kenya Power attributes the blackout to system disturbance, which they claim is being addressed by technicians. During a similar outage last month, it took more than 12 hours to restore power in most parts of the country.
