Villagers from 14 underserved counties have reason to smile following the launch of the construction of 114 solar mini-grids in the region.
Speaking during the event at Kipsing location in Oldonyiro ward, in Isiolo County, Energy Principal Secretary Alex Wachira said that the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP) is a deliberate initiative by the government to uplift the livelihoods of residents in the underserved counties of Isiolo, Garissa, Kilifi, Kwale, Lamu, Mandera, Marsabit, Narok, Samburu, Taita Taveta, Tana River, Turkana, Wajir, and West Pokot.
