Energy Principal Secretary Alex Wachira has called on Kenyans to back the government’s divestiture programme, saying it will unlock critical funding for electricity expansion under the Last Mile Connectivity Project.
Speaking at a public forum at the Ganda Chief’s Office in Malindi Constituency, Wachira explained that proceeds from the sale of government shares in firms such as Safaricom will help settle loans and free resources to connect more households to the grid. He noted that electricity remains a key driver of development, with demand rising sharply across the country.
