Bugiri Municipality Member of Parliament (MP), Mr Asuman Basalirwa, who doubles as Justice Forum (Jeema) Party President, has threatened to file a case against power distributor, Umeme following the electrocution of his two relatives.

Ms Fazira Kagoya, 56, a wife to the elder brother of his father (Uncle) and Fahad Mususwa, 19, a nephew, who sat for his Senior Four examinations at Bukooli College, Bugiri, and was awaiting results, were on Saturday morning electrocuted at their home in Bugodo Village, Namukonge Parish in Bugiri District.

Speaking at the duo’s burial on Sunday, Mr Basalirwa, who was visibly angry at Umeme said “People are losing their lives as a result of electrocution and as a lawyer; I want to assure you that we are filing a case before the end of this week.”
