How Kenyans kept themselves busy during national blackout
While the country was plunged into hours of darkness on Tuesday night following a power system disturbance, Kenyans took to social media to express their frustrations.
No electricity meant nearly all functions were disabled, including watching TV at home after work or even catching up with a novel for the book lovers.
But this did not stop Kenyans on Twitter from keeping themselves busy with memes during the prolonged blackout so as to pass the hours.
Here is a few of just what netizens were up to on social media:
Reporter: Tell us about the power break,
MATIANG’I: It was agreed by Kenya Power that instead of giving Kenyans short power breaks all year long, we combine it all, give you in one night and move on, we’re streamlining the power curriculum ?? #KenyaPower— Kelvin Kiguru (@kiguru_kelvin) January 10, 2018

The last time this happened, Kenya Power blamed it on a monkey. This afternoon, I met a monkey walking around with intent. pic.twitter.com/2T6ISHcQYi
