Industries, Mines and Energy Minister Modestus Amutse has called on all Regional Electricity Distributors to ensure that electricity is reliable, affordable, and accessible to all citizens by 2028, regardless of their economic status.
The Electricity Control Board (ECB) has laid down guidelines for regional electricity distributors following the death of eight people over the past four years due to electrocution.
In 2022/2025, 17 accidents were reported, with eight of them being fatalities caused by electrocution.
The Black People's Economic Emancipation Association has petitioned Parliament to abolish Article 31 of the Constitution.
Article 31 protects sitting and former heads of state from civil or criminal prosecution for any wrongdoing committed during their tenure in office.
