To safeguard the lives of Kenyans and livelihoods from climate crisis effects, in 2018, he announced that Kenya would be moving to 100percent green energy by 2020.
Instead, Kenya is still ambitious in investing in the Lamu coal power plant and Kitui coal mining.
Kenya has a chance to make the next move towards achieving 100 percent green energy this year and that is not harbouring ambitions for coal investments.
By investing in the abundant renewable energy potential, Kenya is able to improve its agricultural production and overcome the looming crisis.
The development of a coal power plant in Lamu and coal mining in Kitui will undermine Kenya’s strategic position as a leader in renewable energy.
