According to the Deputy President who speaking in Baringo ,Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen should buy and install new generators ,as the ones in place keep on switching on and off because they are fake.
“Leave Kipchumba Murkomen alone; some are suggesting that he resigns, and he is putting in so much effort… The other government purchased fake generators; when they are turned on, they malfunction. If a small load is applied, they begin emitting smoke.” said the DP about the JKIA blackouts.
The Power outages at the airport have seen many calling for the resignation of both CS Murkomen and his Energy and petroleum counterpart Davis Chirchir.
Nandi Senator Samson Cheragei has been at logger heads over the situation at JKIA last month the CS stated that JKIA will be fitted with back up generators to avoid outages that paralyze operations at Kenya’s gateway.
JKIA has twice been the victim of a nationwide power outage.
