Kenyans endured a third countrywide power blackout in four years on January 11, 2022, which resulted in financial losses running into millions of shillings after disrupting businesses, households and manufacturers.
The four-hour outage was due to the collapse of a high-voltage power line linking Nairobi to the Kiambere hydroelectric dam. There were allegations of possible vandalism of the critical installation based in Imara Daima, Nairobi.
