Just a few days ago, after a child in Masaka was electrocuted to death by live electric wires, residents of Kavule in Gombe Sub county in Wakiso district are on tension, after a night of heavy rains left electric poles broken and live wires hanging over their roofs.
Over three electric poles broke down due to decay three weeks ago, but the Electricity Distribution Company, has not responded to the problem leaving the residents in perpetual fear.
The LC I Chairman of Kavule, Moses Kalumba said many people operating small business are no longer working.
Residents in the area have also set up a committee to guard the wires against thieves. They are worried that if the wires are stolen, it will take time before it is replaced.
