I remember when I was a kid and my parents bought us our first refrigerator. Before that, we bought food to be cook just for that day, and things like cold milk and soda were luxuries. So we spent our time drinking warm soda, juice and fresh milk( sometimes cold from the kanteen when they had ice).
My parents used a matatu to go to work in tao. So instead of buying themselves a car they instead decided to buy a fridge, stovetop cooker, microwave, and washing machine. These were luxuries unheard of at the time. My entire perspective changed I tell you my clothes were cleaner, my belly was full all the time and I invited nearly the entire children of the village to see the fridge and sample the cold goods. Everyone was jealous even the people who were driving V8's because they wasted all their money on a car. We enjoyed for a year until thieves broke in an stole the fridge...
The purpose of this story was to highlight that still to this day not that many Kenyans even own fridges in their households. And why is this important? As a way to increase the energy consumption of Kenyan households through the purchases of appliances like fridges, washing machines, induction stove tops, etc. And this would also improve the lives of many people since local factories could be set up for the assembly or building of those appliances which would put many people in jobs. So Rotich should reduce the tax on domestic home appliances which will actually help grow the economy.
As we sleep Ethiopia Manufacturing potential is growing bigger and bigger.

And for those confused. I made this thread to highlight the need for having more consumers purchase more appliances as a way to help the economy grow and increase demand for electricity. Which makes us an attractive destination for manufacturing of consumer appliance goods etc.
