National Unity Democratic Organisation member of parliament Vetaruhe Kandorozu has called for an independent audit and investigation into a series of fatal electrocution incidents involving employees in the electricity sector, saying repeated workplace deaths point to serious safety failures.
It comes after Central North Regional Electricity Distributor (Cenored)) technician Desmond Ujaha (42) died and another colleague was critically injured in an electrocution accident on 30 July, while working on a power line on a farm between Otavi and Tsumeb.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Kandorozu expresses condolences to the families of workers who have died while on duty, saying the latest fatality at Cenored comes about a year after a similar tragedy at the Northern Regional Electricity Distributor (Nored).
