Saturday, January 3,
2026 - A somber mood has engulfed parts of Ol Kalou and Ndaragwa following
reports that a 23-year-old man died and three others were injured in an
electrocution incident during an event held at the rural home of Tourism
Cabinet Secretary, Rebecca Miano, on 26th December.
The claims were first shared in a Facebook post by Councillor Njohi, who
stated that CS Miano had hosted villagers at her Ndaragwa residence for a
relief food distribution and community gathering.
According to the post, an events company from Ol Kalou had
been contracted to erect tents for the function.
During the setup, four young men working with the events
organiser were allegedly electrocuted.
One of them, identified in the post as Richard Chuhi,
aged 23, is said to have died on the spot.
He reportedly leaves behind a widow and a two-month-old
child.
The three survivors were treated and discharged from
hospital days later.
Councillor Njohi further alleged that CS Miano did not follow up on the matter or attend the funeral, claims that have sparked concern among some residents, according to the post.
