<h2>
 Was there power interruption at Gachagua's church event?
</h2>

 A scheduled maintenance that caused power interruptions in Nyeri County during a church event attended by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday, March 23, sparked widespread reactions among Kenyans.

<img data-document-id="cms/api/amp/image/AA1BNdw9" data-reference="image" src="https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/AA1BNdw9.jpg"/>

 The interruption happened during the enthronement of the Venerable Canon Gerald Mwangi Muriithi as the third Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Mt. Kenya at ACK Cathedral in Nyeri County.


 The interruption sparked speculation about possible political involvement. Some Kenyans questioned whether the power company had caused it deliberately or if it was part of their scheduled outages.


 The utility addressed the allegations on its official social media pages, clarifying that the outage during the church event attended by Gachagua was not deliberate, but part of planned maintenance that affected multiple areas in Nyeri County.


 Kenya Power had notified its customers in specific parts of Nyeri about the scheduled maintenance one day prior to Gachagna's event.


 The regions highlighted were Mukurweini, State Lodge, Ragati, Karatina, Nyeri, Mweiga, Tetu, and Narumoru, where disruptions in electricity supply were anticipated to last approximately eight hours, spanning from 8 AM to 5 PM.

 The Kenya Power and Lighting Company has extended an invitation to enrolled university and college students to apply for their 2022 internship program, scheduled to take place between May and July. Applicants must submit their forms by Friday, March 28.
 </li>
 <li>
 The utility firm has implemented an easier method for clients to notify them of power disruptions through the USSD code *977# or via the MyPower application. Additionally, the CEO attributed many blackouts to problems with vegetation, noting that certain homeowners obstruct Kenya Power’s efforts to trim trees or hinder access to electricity lines on their land.
 </li>
 <li>
 Kenya Power has indicated that their technical staff utilizes planned maintenance windows to fix defective transformers or substitute them with functional new units. As the firm embraces advanced technology such as automation, the requirement for regular upkeep has diminished.

LONDON, 22nd March, 2025 (WAM) -- Heathrow Airport in London resumed operations at full capacity Saturday, after a massive fire caused a power outage and the airport's closure yesterday, leading to widespread disruptions in global travel.

 In a statement, Heathrow Airport noted that teams are actively supporting passengers affected by the power outage. It announced the deployment of hundreds of additional staff across terminals and added flights to the schedule to accommodate an extra 10,000 travelers.


 The airport had been scheduled to handle 1,351 flights carrying approximately 291,000 passengers yesterday. However, many flights were rerouted to other airports across the UK and Europe, while some long-haul flights returned to their departure points.
