⚡️RUMURUTI PSA: If you see light in your house right now, take a screenshot. Evidence. Future generations won't believe you.⚡️
Rumuruti and satellite towns, we need to talk about our situationship with KPLC. It's not a relationship, it's a hostage situation with a monthly bill.
This isn't "load shedding," this is a LIFESTYLE. Power here doesn't go off, it just occasionally visits. 6 times a day minimum, like it's clocking in for shift work. Some days it disappears with such commitment you start wondering if it moved to Nairobi for greener pastures.
I'll take that 10k bet 😂 — power will vanish every 2 hours, 5 times today, guaranteed. Put your money where your transformer is.
And don't get me started on the 12-hour blackouts. At that point KPLC isn't supplying electricity, they're supplying SUSPENSE. Will it come back before your phone dies? Before your fridge food dies? Before YOUR will to live dies? Place your bets in the comments.
Honestly at this point candles should sponsor KPLC. Kerosene lamp dealers owe them a percentage.
I think Rumuruti and the surrounding towns have graduated. We've done the tutorial level (complaining on Twitter), now it's time for the real game: SOLAR. Off-grid, no-drama, "I don't know your name KPLC" energy independence. Let the sun do what Rumuruti power lines refuse to do — show up consistently.
REMEMBER RUMU IS THE ALLEGED CAPITAL OF LAIKIPIA COUNTY
