Kenya has completed the construction of its portion of a Ksh43 billion ($309.26 million) electricity transmission line that will allow power imports and exports with neighbouring Tanzania before end of year.
Energy Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir Tuesday said Kenya was installing meters along the transmission line of 507.5-kilometres ahead of the commissioning by December.
