Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities in Kayunga Town Council have started closing shops that lack proper sanitary facilities.<\/p>\n

By Wednesday last week, a total of 42 shops in Kayunga North Ward had been closed.<\/p>\n

Ms Faridah Kulabako, the town clerk, said some of the affected shops had filled up toilets.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [business owners] have to re-empty the toilets, and provide water since they are water-borne facilities. They should also provide rubbish bins to all the shops,\u201d Ms Kulabako said last week.<\/p>\n

Most of the closed shops sell food.<\/p>\n

Ms Kulabako added that before conducting the operation, they had written letters to the landlords asking them to establish the required sanitary facilities, but they refused to take heed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no other option, but to close them since they have been posing a health risk to the lives of the tenants and other town dwellers,\u201d the town clerk said.<\/p>\n

Ms Rodha Nakyobe, the town health inspector, said they have given landlords two weeks to put in place the sanitary facilities failure of which they would be sued.<\/p>\n

She also warned other landlords whose houses have not yet been closed to ensure cleanliness.<\/p>\n

Ms Kulabako also said owners of commercial houses with unpaved yards should pave them within two months or risk closure.<\/p>\n

She, however, said the directive to all developers to construct storeyed buildings had been paused due to the current economic hardships.<\/p>\n

Five years ago, town authorities announced that they had stopped developers from erecting structures that don\u2019t conform to urban standards and banned construction of new pit-latrines to promote toilets with clear sewerage systems.<\/p>\n

Despite this ban, many residents in the town still use pit latrines, claiming that they do not have money to construct water-borne sanitation facilities.<\/p>\n

On average, a water-borne toilet facility can cost Shs4m, which covers purchasing a water tank, digging a soak pit, and a piped system, among others.<\/p>\n
