Kenya’s parliament replaced targeted probes into two officials over the Lake Turkana wind project with a broader review of past energy officials.
Kenya’s Parliament has dropped specific calls to investigate former Energy Permanent Secretary Patrick Nyoike and former Kenya Power CEO Joseph Njoroge over the Lake Turkana Wind Power project, replacing targeted recommendations with a broader probe of ministry and utility officials from that era.
The final report cites failures in competitive procurement, rushed approvals, and financial risks tied to the project’s power purchase agreement, including payments based on an inflated capacity factor and lack of proper metering.
Nyoike, now a director at a geothermal firm that received a long-term licence during his tenure, is under scrutiny for potential conflicts of interest, though the final report does not name individuals.
The inquiry stems from a 2023 motion by MP Jane Kagiri seeking to address high electricity costs and disparities between state and private power producers.
