Introduction :
In the commune of Limete in Kinshasa, the recent fire in an electrical box has highlighted a problem that persists in many parts of the city. Residents face recurrent power outages, and repairing burnt-out cabins often takes time. In this article, we will examine the causes of these incidents, the consequences for the population and the actions to be taken to solve this problem.
The reasons for the fire in the electrical cabins:
The exact origin of the electric cabin fire in the Funa district remains unknown. However, it is important to note that many neighborhoods in Kinshasa face similar risks due to improper connections and DIY by unqualified individuals posing as technicians. These practices compromise the safety of electrical cabins and endanger the inhabitants.
The consequences for the population:
The consequences of the fire in the electrical cabins are multiple. First of all, the inhabitants of the affected neighborhoods find themselves without electricity for weeks, which impacts their daily life. Work and business activities are disrupted, electrical appliances cannot be used, and this often results in increased costs for the use of other energy sources. In addition, the absence of electricity can also have an impact on neighborhood safety, particularly in terms of public lighting.
Actions to be taken:
Faced with this recurring problem, it is crucial that the National Electricity Company (SNEL) take rapid measures to solve this problem. Regular inspections of electrical cabins must be carried out and strict safety standards must be applied when making electrical connections. In addition, it is important to raise public awareness of the dangers of DIY by unqualified individuals and to encourage residents to report any suspicious behavior.
Conclusion :
The burning of electrical cabins in the districts of Kinshasa is a serious problem which impacts the daily life of the inhabitants. It is imperative that the competent authorities take measures to ensure the safety of electrical installations and to guarantee a regular and reliable supply of electricity for all. By raising public awareness and actively involving SNEL, it is possible to solve this problem and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of Kinshasa
