Power supply has been restored in all parts of Kenya, which earlier experienced a nationwide outage after a high voltage transmission line connecting the capital broke, state-controlled utility Kenya Power said on Tuesday.

Kenya Power reported a blackout occurred at 07:45 GMT, after towers supporting a high voltage power line connecting the capital to the Kiambere hydroelectric dam collapsed.It said in a statement that as of 14:35 GMT, power had been restored in all parts of the country except in three administrative regions, known as counties, and whose supply was expected back by 15:00 GMT.

The company did not say what had caused the transmission line collapse, nor did it release an estimate on how long repairs would take.
