The use of new technology has been credited with completion of the Loiyangalani-Suswa line, saving taxpayers billions of shillings in monthly penalties.
The 433.96km line from Loiyangalani in Turkana to Suswa in Narok was completed in a record seven months after the Spanish company that had initially won the contract went bankrupt, exposing Kenyans to a Sh1 billion monthly penalty for delays in evacuating power to the national grid.
