5-year-old girl electrocuted to death in hospital

According to Siaya County Police Commander Cleti Kiamiyo, the little girl who has been identified as Roseline Awuor is said to have been struck by the electricity wire that was lying along the perimeter wall of the hospital's fence. 

He says that it was reported by the Assistant Chief of Uyawi sub-location Joshua Ougo that after being struck, the locals tried to swiftly rescue her to the same facility where she was declared dead.

The matter was then reported prompting police officers and Kenya Power officers from Bondo to rush to the scene where they found a cow that had also been electrocuted, lying dead at the perimeter fence next to the gate of the said hospital.

While confirming the incident, Kimaiyo stated that the faulty line was later identified and disconnected.

He asked members of the public to always be cautious to prevent such calamities, adding that poorly installed electricity cables should be reported immediately to the concerned agency or the police for quick intervention.
