Rights activists want answers about seven workers who died last year. The Edward Francis Small Centre for Rights and Justice sent a letter to NAWEC demanding they release their investigation report. The tragedy happened on October 9, 2024 when contractors from KEI Construction Company were working on power lines near Essau, Sami and Mendy Kunda. The electricity company said they felt sorry about the deaths but never shared what they found out. Nine months have passed and families still have no answers about what went wrong.
The rights group says NAWEC must follow the law and tell people what happened. They asked for two important papers about the deadly accident. The first document should explain how the workers died on the high-tension cables. The second report needs to show what changes NAWEC made to stop future deaths. The Access to Information Act forces government agencies to share this kind of information within one month.
NAWEC must respond to the formal request within three weeks or break the law. The rights center reminds everyone that government agencies cannot hide important facts from citizens. They believe 2025 should be the year when all agencies tell the truth about their mistakes. The families of the dead workers deserve to know exactly what killed their loved ones. Public safety depends on learning from these terrible accidents.
