Kenyans, however, expressed their opinions following the tweet by the embassy others questioning why such a big organization does not have a backup generator.
Here are reactions from Kenyans on Twitter.
So shame to kenya. After 60 years of independence Nairobi the capital still suffers power outage????

I highly doubt it’s a power issue. A whole US Embassy can’t be without a power back up.
But anyway, what do I even know about embassies— ????????WAIHARO???????? (@MrWaiharo) March 2, 2020
How comes a big embassy like you, you can’t afford a generator and the way you charge a lot for interviews

You must have rejected a visa application by a very senior employee @KenyaPower_Care. He had to suspend your reggae.
