President Ruto said the government is keen on stabilising power supply to the Coast region to spur economic development.
“The biggest problem in this region has been low electricity voltage generated through expensive thermal energy,” he said while addressing residents at Makupa.
Present were Cabinet Secretaries Hassan Joho (Mining), Salim Mvurya (Sports) and Opiyo Wandayi (Energy), Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, Governors Abdulswamad Nassir Shariff (Mombasa) and Gideon Mung’aro (Kilifi), National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wa, MPs and MCAs, among others.
He said the new sub-station will carry electricity all the way from Ethiopia and Naivasha to the Coast to power industries, among them Mombasa’s Dongo Kundu Special Economic Zone, creating jobs for young people.
At Mariakani, President Ruto directed the Kenya Defence Forces to join efforts with the Kilifi County Government to lay water pipes that will provide water to the residents.
