The lack of public toilets in Ssentamu Zone and Nakawa Small Gate in Nakawa Parish, Nakawa Division, is forcing some residents and workers to dispose of human waste in polythene bags and dump it in drainage channels, residents have said.
The concerns were raised during the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) Weyonje cleaning exercise on Saturday, with residents appealing to KCCA Executive Director Hajjat Sharifah Buzeki to provide public toilets in the area.
Ssentamu Zone is largely occupied by garages and artisans involved in making metallic beds, suitcases and other products. Residents said mechanics, welders, boda boda riders and other workers have limited access to toilet facilities.Ivan Matovu, the area councillor, said the few available toilets are privately owned and their owners do not allow members of the public to use them.
Resident Brian Wandera also confirmed that the area has no public toilets, saying most of the available facilities belong to landlords who keep them locked for private use.
Dr Judith Nalukwago, a city authority councillor, urged landlords to provide proper sanitation facilities before constructing and renting out houses.
She also called on elected area leaders to enforce regulations requiring landlords to provide functional toilets on their premises before renting out the houses.
