Here is the result of one year of hard work. #electric, #safety https://t.co/4MKuwWHK8m

Vandalism of power transmission infrastructure disrupts electricity supply, affecting communities, businesses, and the country’s development.

Together, we can protect power transmission infrastructure, ensure stability, and safeguard the national grid.

📊Classement des économies africaines selon leur industrialisation en 2025
1. Maroc🇲🇦
2. Afrique du Sud🇿🇦
3. Égypte 🇪🇬
4. Tunisie 🇹🇳
5. Île Maurice 🇲🇺
6. Algérie 🇩🇿
7. Eswatini
8. Sénégal 🇸🇳

✅️3 FAITS À RETENIR DU RAPPORT:

1️⃣Le progrès est réel, mais pas homogène. Le rapport indique que 41 des 54 pays évalués ont amélioré leur score d’industrialisation entre 2010 et 2024, avec une progression continentale d’environ 6%.

2️⃣L’Afrique reste très marginale dans l’industrie mondiale. Le rapport souligne que le continent pèse encore moins de 2% de la production manufacturière mondiale et seulement 1,4% des exportations manufacturières mondiales.

3️⃣Le commerce intra-africain reste un gros frein. Les échanges entre pays africains ne représentent que 14,4% du commerce total du continent, ce qui reflète des chaînes de valeur fragmentées et des liens de production encore trop faibles.

Al Jazeera is reporting that Safaricom is working with the government to conduct surveillance on Kenyans. The government knows everything about its critics, where they are traveling, and their plans.

Kipchumba Murkomen once said that the government knows where politicians are and who they slept with.

Every energized circuit deserves respect.
Safety is not compliance alone — it is operational excellence.

Kudos for those who take care of these (often underated) utilities !

[Nelson Amenya @amenya_nelson]

We have the worst people leading us, they hate Kenya and they hate themselves. They think driving around potholed roads and non existent sidewalks with range rovers and landcruisers with chase cars is the epitome of success. An average politicians has two goals. Build a house and buy a fuel guzzler and he/she thinks they have made it in life, they have no capacity to think about a civilised society or how to build one. Imagine Sakaja a drop out who forged his degree frying his head to think about connecting Nairobi by just fixing walkways (he thinks it’s useless).

I would like to start a TL on the physiology of an electrical shock. Have a look to the event of @iLabAfrica last week ! https://t.co/ePKgqcIjNt

The resistance of your body against current is decimated when the skin is on contact with water. The level of #Electricty protection shall be considered accordingly.

Reuse Economy is essential in coutries such as #Kenya, #WEEE and #Environement

[B. Dillmann @dillmann_bd]

5/5: Electrical safety isn't just for experts—the general public needs to understand the risks. People step outside every day oblivious to invisible dangers, while our politicians look the other way. Safety cannot wait. ⚡️⚡️ #WorldSafetyDay #ElectricitySupply

4/5: Now we come to the Step Voltage ! #ElectricitySupply because we consider that it is not only a problem for substations but anywere having loose transmission lines...

[B. Dillmann @dillmann_bd]

4/5 : Now the worst of all: Step voltage kills because your front foot is at a higher voltage than your back foot. Current flows up one leg → across your torso → down the other leg. Keep feet together to avoid the difference. ⚡👣

[B. Dillmann @dillmann_bd]

3/5: Another example of dangerous "touch" voltage: groundings are too distant from each other (here the potential of the pilone is the same as tge potential if the box) and the hands (red) may be in contact with a grounded enclosure while feets (blue) are at a much lower one.
