Will Governor Sonko's free public toilets work for Nairobi? :: Kenya



[ad_1]

The proposal that will allow city-dwellers to freely access public toilets could not have come at a better time. I applaud Governor Sonko for the move, which is achievable.

However, this is not new given that in neighboring Machakos County, residents and members of the public who visit the area do not pay a single shilling to use major facilities for some time now .

The county government has a mandate to provide sanitation services, including waste management and garbage, and this should not to be left in the hands of the cartels.

The public toilets we have in the city exchanged hands when I was advising, before the advent of devolution. They were given to individuals because at that time there was a shortage of staff and their management was very difficult.

We now have adequate staff and the maintenance of the facilities will not be a challenge. I will advise that the county partner with organized groups of youth and women to make this noble proposal work.

Every new regime is accompanied by changes and it is time for the city's inhabitants to adopt this new development by Governor Mike Sonko. Toilet cleanliness and user safety, which were a major concern when they were free during the days of City Council defection, should also be guaranteed when the tax is removed.
