Abstract: Power Outage: A power cut plunged large parts of Kenya including the capital Nairobi into darkness on August 30th, the East African economic powerhouse's main electricity supplier said.All regions served by the national network lost power apart from North Rift and parts of the Western Region, Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) said in a statement."We regret any inconvenience caused and urge for patience from our customers as we work towards restoring normalcy at the earliest opportunity," it added.Flights at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, a major regional passenger and freight hub, was unaffected as it switched to back-up power systems and generators, the Kenya Airports Authority said on X. Local blackouts are fairly common in Kenya but the country has recently suffered large-scale power cuts.(
