Third Nationwide Power Blackout Could Be a Result of Sabotage

The power outage that left Kenya in the dark on Sunday, December 10, 2023 may have been the result of sabotage, according to a minister. It was Kenya's third nationwide blackout in the previous four months. Numerous services were affected by the blackout, including the main airport in Nairobi, the country's capital, where two terminals were without electricity for several hours. Transport Minister Kipchumba Murkomen has asked the police to look into the possibility of sabotage, after coming under fire for the time it took to restore electricity to Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), Jerry Chifamba writes for AllAfrica.
