Much of Kenya awoke on Saturday morning to find it is still without electricity after an unexplained power outage on Friday night shut down the country’s main international airport and led to a rare public apology by a government minister.

“I am really sorry for what has happened,” transport minister Kipchumba Murkomen said in a statement close to midnight local time.
