The African Development Bank (AfDB) has raised concerns over delays by the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) to compensate families along the power line to Tanzania, hitting timely completion.

AfDB says Ketraco is yet to pay affected families KSh64.719 million ($486,426) to pave way for the completion of the line on the Kenyan side.
