Kenyans will be forced to pay more for electricity as the water levels at the Masinga dam continued to decrease.
The levels are currently at five per cent due to the ongoing drought occasioned by the failed five rain seasons.
The dam is the largest electricity generation reservoir in the country.
According to the Energy CS Davis Chirchir, low levels at the Masinga dam might force the engineers to close it and push all the water down to the cascades to support the generation downstream.
He has however said the country is banking on the current weather to generate more power from the solar, as the experts await the next situational report in the next 15 days.
Chirchir said the change might not be much as the government has put in place measures to arrest the situation.
