Patrick Tonui, GOGLA East Africa Regional Representative:
I am the regional representative for GOGLA in East Africa, and like many Kenyans, my family and I live off the electric grid network on a small rural farm. Despite the significant investments in last mile grid extension in the country, we sit right in the middle of an unserved area with two different electric lines about two kilometers away, with no indication on when we can expect service. Over the last year, I have seen evolve what has become the economic center of the community, a small shopping center that has the local grocery store, barber shop, bar, a lodging facility and TV hall; the latter has become the go to place to watch premier league football matches, a true Kenyan passion, at the weekend.
