The Tuesday incident happened at Namusera trading center along Hoima road where Joseph Kabaaya was one of the people working at a construction site.<\/p>\n

The building is a few meters away from the main power line and preliminary investigations indicate that Kabaaya was standing on the first floor holding an iron bar which he attempted to pass over to his fellow builder on the next floor when accidentally hit the electric wire before he was electrocuted.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s our neighbour in Nkoowe village but we all liked him due to his kindness. We have been left in shock,” said Mr Yusuf Mukwaya, an eye witness<\/p>\n

Mr Jamadah Kigozi, a retired security personnel and a member of the security committee at Namusera village told this publication that he was at home when he heard an explosion.<\/p>\n

“When I reached the scene I saw fire and a person dangling before he fell down dead,” he said.<\/p>\n

Police visited the scene at around 2pm. The iron bar and Kabaaya\u2019s body were picked by police as investigations continue.<\/p>\n

By press time, the Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson, Mr Luke Owoyesigire was still waiting for information from the police officers at Wakiso police station.<\/p>\n
