More than 32 per cent of these electrical accidents occur in homes due to poor wiring and illegal connections. Kenya Power Manager in charge Safety, Health and Environment John Guda said Kenya has a long way to go in addressing electrical accidents, especially from illegal connections. “Majority of dwellers in places like Kibra, Kayole, Mathare, Mukuru among other informal settlements are prone to electrical accidents due to illegal connections which expose users and other residents to fatal injuries,” he explained. Vandalism and encroachment on land where power lines are also ranked among the main contributors of electrical accidents according to the power utility firm.
