VIDEO: Kenya Power Employees Electrocuted on Transformer


A shocking video of two Kenya Power technicians getting electrocuted while working on electric posts holding a transformer, has horrified many on social media.
The employees supposedly from Nakuru County were on Sunday attending to a transmission line next to Ashok Leyland when they got burnt on the spot.
The disturbing video shows the two men on top suspended on the poles, when one gets in contact with the live wires sparking fire at the scene.
In the video captured by a by-stander, the man tries to get up but unfortunately touches the live wires again hence suffers another electric shock amidst screams from onlookers.
After the dreadful incident, the two were later removed from the posts and rushed to hospital.
It is not clear whether the two succumbed to the impact of the accident.
A section of the public blamed the Kenya Power for the unfortunate incident, as the electricity ought to be switched off during such operations.
