A rural electrification project funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) failed to connect the targeted 30,000 businesses due to technical constraints on the power distribution network, forcing the businesses to continue relying on their own energy sources.
The Last Mile Connectivity Project (LMCP), funded by a Sh15billion AfDB loan, had initially targeted to link up the small commercial customers to the grid, but as the project closed in July, none had been connected.
