Zac,<br><p>"In Kenya, the project couldn’t have come at a better time. Over 70
percent of Kenya's population is not connected to the grid and relies
mainly on biomass, kerosene and disposable batteries for light. There
are already some solar lamps available, but most of the products are
too expensive, of poor quality or not adapted to the Kenyan needs. It
is against this background that the project partners designed a solar
lamp which can be used as a flashlight (for outdoor toilets, guards) or
to light rooms if suspended. The lamp with LED, integrated solar panel
and rechargeable batteries is simple and easy to repair."</p><p> Its really unfortunate that we have set our eyes on Vision 2030 yet energy which is an important component in any growing economy is still a challenge, me thinks it has come a time when we must DEMAND service from Kengen and KPLC , we cannot entertain mediocrity and impunity yet the companies are posting ridiculous profits, we literally beg for power yet we pay dearly for it. I am not in any way belittling such noble efforts, the question is can they take us to the promised land?</p>
