Kenya Power Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Siror, believes that using electricity to boil succotash, locally known as githeri, is significantly cheaper than both gas and charcoal. Kenya Power Managing Director and CEO Joseph Siror addresses participants during the first Grid Conference at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies on June 8, 2023. On the market, a standard electric cooker is valued at not less than Ksh20,000, a figure exceeding the monthly income of many Kenyan households. Other individuals, however, sided with the CEO, noting that using electricity to cook was significantly cheaper and more convenient. The Kenya Power consumers cited the nationwide blackout that put Kenya Power and Energy CS Davis Chirchir in the spotlight.
