Nabii wants to go back to western deals yet their deals are usually double edge sword, most Independent power producers are from the west, nearly all stalled projects were also initiated by the west. Halafu they'll start preaching the agenda as part of conditions to accept the deals.
My crystal balls tells nabii is cleaning his international image by aligning with the west even if it means shafting Kenyans to shed off the ICC tag. hIyo dam will be a huge pain point to Kenyans, initially it was meant to cost 150b, then nabii signs for 450b, halafu itakuwa private property till we pay it off, the owners will sell power to Kenya power and also water will be sold to water bodies at a rate determined by the owners. Mtauziwa maji yenu.
