The National Assembly Committee on Energy chaired by Hon. Vincent Musyoka (Mwala) met the Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Mr. David Chirchir to discuss the recent nationwide power outage that crippled critical services and disrupted businesses.

Members sought an explanation on what led to the 19-hour blackout that plunged the country into losses, identity of the persons liable for the power outage and the measures instituted by the Ministry to avoid blackout occurrences. 

Speaker of the Senate Rt Hon Amason Jeffah Kingi has hailed the enactment of the new law on climate change, terming it a game changer in regulation of the critical carbon credit trade.

Terming the carbon market as a key element in addressing sustainability of climate actions and rewarding green initiatives, Speaker Kingi commended Kenyan legislators for giving priority to the law – Climate Change (Amendment) Act, 2023.
