Households in Busia, Homa Bay and Siaya counties remain the most reliant on kerosene lamps for lighting despite the ongoing rural electrification initiative by the government, a new survey shows.
Majority of residents in Busia (72.1 per cent), Homa Bay (67 per cent), Siaya (65.6 per cent) and Bungoma (65.6 per cent) use paraffin as the main source of lighting, the study by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) said.
