Tigania West Member of Parliament John Mutunga has lauded the national government through last-mile connectivity and Renewable Energy and Rural Electrification Corporation to light up the constituency. By 2017, he said, the constituency was at 24 per cent connectivity on average, while Kenya was at 75 per cent. “Upon realisation of the sorry state of affairs, we expeditiously lobbied for the constituency to be put under affirmative action consideration to pull up the connectivity levels,” he said. “We anticipate to have those projects complete by 2022 and over 5000 additional families connected to the national grid as compared to the current 3500 families,” Mutunga said. He said they will continue to identify the underserved transformers and reporting the same to KPC for incorporation into the future last-mile projects upon verification.
