Most disheartening is that,as consumers cried due to high cost of power, LTWP has been sitting on idle 310MWs due the incompetence of KETRACO and by extension, Uhuru's government, since 2016.

Keter?...My view though is that the entire project has been over-delayed due to government bureaucracy and the lack of kickbacks. If there were transformers and poles involved, you can bet the project would have ended a decade ago. Secondly, it's worst way to treat investors. Here is a group who have invested their 70 billions since 2009 and you really don't give a damn. 10 years is such a long time to get a 450Km transmission line in place . The investors have a right to be mad and rightly so.... and then there is Wanjiku. She has been denied cheap power so the powers that be can continue feeding from thermal plants. Is this not so? ooh@Newfarer. I am a little surprised you do not know Mugo Kibati!

In the Citizen TV interview P.S Njoroge said in 5 Weeks (End of August 2018) the Transmission line will be complete ...stringing works 30% complete. Pylon tower works 80% complete. So August 31st sio mbali.

The 266-mile (428km), 400-kilovolt power line is critical for the Lake Turkana Wind Power project, to carry electricity from Loiyangalani in the north to Suswa in the centre of Kenya.
