He added that it would be a strategic project to generate electricity in across East Africa.
The project’s first phase will be completed by the end of 2020. The second phase will see infrastructure needed for the management and linkage of various sites in the project supplied. The project’s third phase will see telephone lines installed, alongside electricity and data networks.
