Monday, February 26, 2024 - President William Ruto's speech was once again disrupted at Kasarani yesterday after a power blackout.
Ruto had taken over the podium at the Kasarani Indoor Arena
after being invited by his deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, during the centenary
celebrations of the African Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA).
Ruto was outlining the journey he had walked with the
leadership of the AIPCA church, praising his deputy for coordinating things
between the government and the church, when the lights and the sound systems
went off.
The discomfort following the outage was evident as the
leaders behind the president looked around, perhaps devising a solution to the
unforeseen challenge.
He paused his speech as he waited in the non-illuminated
venue.
The electricity was back on a few minutes later, and the
president continued with his speech.
While hailing the AIPCA church for its contribution to the
development of the country, Ruto pledged the government's support to it.
He noted that the church was at the forefront of promoting
education through the many learning institutions it manages.
"You have our support as a government. I want to thank
you for all the plans we have for our country. The contribution of the AIPCA
church in matters of education is evident. The church is helping us in managing
our education," he said.
Further, the president promised to acquire land and put up
an ultra-modern AIPCA church.
The frequent power outages are now becoming a serious
concern considering the same thing happened a few days ago, where Ruto was left
in total darkness in Naivasha during a Cabinet retreat while giving his speech,
leaving a lot to be desired on what the CS for Energy Davis Chirchir is doing
to arrest the situation and stop embarrassing the president.
