A ten-year-old girl has been electrocuted in MeruThe girl, who hailed from Linguni area, was going to nearby canteen at Mukuiru in Karama Ward Tigania East when she ran over un-insulated Kenya Power lines that had fallen in a farm in the area and died. We have complained to KPLC to tighten the wires hanging on ground but our cry has fallen on deaf hears. He died after leaning on an un-insulated electricity wire connected to a post linked to a transformer. Charles Mutwiri, an uncle to the deceased, told the Star, three other people got an electric shock at the same post, but residents rescued them. Then KPLC Meru County business manager Timothy Waswa told the Star the firm had sent investigators to the site.
