Kenya risks nationwide power blackouts after bank accounts belonging to the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) were frozen in the wake of a Sh10 billion row, leaving the utility with no cash for repairs and maintenance.
In an urgent application filed at the High Court, Ketraco warned that the freezing of its 17 bank accounts has severely disrupted its operations, including the maintenance of electricity transmission lines, raising the possibility of widespread power outages across the country.
