Energy leader says money given to local places helps power up homes. PS Wachira visited Thika, where he saw new electric lines light up Matathia village. This program lets lawmakers give five million shillings, which the energy office matches with another five million. The partnership brought power to about 200 families who lived without electricity before. Many areas once called dark cities can finally run fridges, lights, and TVs after the sun goes down.
Shop owner Catherine Wairimu is happy her store can stay open later with lights. She thanked officials for keeping promises about bringing power to rural homes. The energy office plans to connect 1,750 houses this year alone across Kenya. Officials asked people not to steal or break the expensive power wires. The government set aside ten billion shillings for the Mount Kenya area, with 490 million headed to Kiambu County.
