@KenyaPower_Care at least you have been consistent with power outages. I thought only citizens suffer your lack of good service but even Embassies are victims. #SwitchOffKPLC https://t.co/UgJ9mby7xZ

Kenya Power is so daring. Yaani, they can cut off power from @USEmbassyKenya just like “nothing ever happened.” ?. They should extend this to @StateHouseKenya as an equaliser of what is “on the ground”… https://t.co/4gbvIKUIO8
