A section of Ugandans on social media are questioning the $500m investment by power distribution company following an accident in the city that saw an electric pole collapse on two vehicles, damaging them in the process.
On Wednesday, traffic was brought to a halt and the pole damaged two cars on Wilson Street in Kampala.
“Some of the $500M Umeme Limited, Uganda investments. I hope no one was hurt though,” Janette Mugisha wrote on Facebook.
Janette has been spearheading the accountability campaign on social media against the power distributor.
The Power distributor has been in the spotlight in the recent past with many calling for cancellation of its contract.
Last month, President Museveni wrote a letter to the Minister for Energy and Mineral development calling for the firm to be investigated and raising the possibility of not renewing its concession.
The President also called on the ministry to find cheaper ways of modernizing and expanding electricity transmission in the country.
