Ndindi Nyoro has come back to his senses and now supports President William Ruto's push for increased electricity generation capacity to 10,000 MW.
I'm glad he's offering solutions too and not his usual hollow daily lamentations.
President Ruto recently revealed his ambitious strategy to generate an extra 10,000 MW of electricity in the next seven years, a measure aimed at fostering industrialization, unlocking new technological prospects, and advancing the nation to a higher level of economic development.
Ruto has always stressed that Kenya is rich in a variety of mostly untapped renewable energy resources such as geothermal, solar, hydro, wind, and nuclear.
Ruto recognizes that for us to fully accomplish extensive value addition, agro-processing, manufacturing, and overall industrial development, the nation requires energy that is sufficient, affordable, and reliable.
Contemporary technologies, including data centers and artificial intelligence, require a significant energy supply. In order to modernize our economy and leverage technology to generate new opportunities—converting our agriculture and natural resources into value-added products—it is essential to supply the numerous megawatts necessary for manufacturing and industry.
