Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has been constructing modern toilets on a number of footbridges across the capital.<\/p>\n

KeNHA has been undertaking improvement projects on a number of footbridges across the country; fitting them with modern toilets.<\/p>\n

Kenyans.co.ke<\/b><\/p>\n

visited two new modern public toilet facilities located on two footbridges along the Thika Superhighway – and which are set to benefit residents using the highway.<\/p>\n

The modern toilets sit at the base of the Witeithie and Jomoko footbridges that have already cost the government millions of shillings.<\/p>\n

The toilets have both the ladies & gents section as well as bathrooms which are in the final stages of construction, with their completion set for next week, before being officially opened to the public. .<\/p>\n

An attendant will be assigned to keep the facilities clean. The public will be charged a small fee; Ksh10, money that will go towards maintenance.<\/p>\n

This is good news to people using the footbridges given answering a call of nature in Nairobi can be frustrating during the day.<\/p>\n

The toilets will serve touts, matatu drivers, long distance travellers, guards, hawkers, revellers and street families.<\/p>\n

Most people have had to relieve themselves on flower beds along the road and footpaths leaving the whole place \u2018watered\u2019 with urine and faeces.<\/p>\n

Matatu operators have had to pee between parked vehicles, leaving permanent streaks of urine patterns on the road.<\/p>\n

All these can be quite unhygienic – and can pose health risks.<\/p>\n

The construction of the four footbridges along the highway began back in 2017 at the cost of Ksh820 million.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, motorists as well as passengers had a traffic nightmare on Thika road as thousands of Kenyans were stranded after they got caught up in the curfew on the night of Saturday, April 17.<\/p>\n

Motorists had to get out of their cars to catch fresh air, relieve themselves in the surrounding bushes as traffic remained static until past 11 pm.<\/p>\n

The new toilets will come in handy especially due to the fact that the available public toilets are few and far between.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
