The Kenya Electricity Transmission Company Limited (KETRACO) team, headed by Celestine Kaseve, presented plans for a new 400kV transmission power line connecting Lessos to Lossuk, Samburu.

This project will benefit several communities, including Tulwet, Chuiyat, Tarakwa, Kapkoi, and Kipkabus.

Uasin Gishu Deputy Governor Evans Kapkea warmly welcomed the initiative and expressed strong support, assuring the community of full cooperation from the county government.

Dr. Silas Leting, Director of Energy, also attended, emphasizing that the department is working on completing an energy policy and a Reticulation Act to streamline energy resources within the county. He reassured the KETRACO team of the department’s commitment to public participation and supporting the program’s implementation.

This ambitious project aims to improve the region’s electricity infrastructure, ensuring a stable power supply and creating employment opportunities for the youth. It also aligns with Governor Jonathan Bii Chelilim’s Nguzo Number 7, reinforcing his commitment to the area’s growth and development.
