Donkey-cart owners in Kenya's north-eastern town of Wajir have been instructed by the local government to attach "some form of diaper" to collect their animals' faeces, in order to protect the town's newly laid Tarmac roads.
In a statement published yesterday (and shared on Twitter below), it said:
[The government] appreciates the contribution of the donkey cart operators to the economy of Wajir... However the town must be kept clean at all times. In view of the above you are directed to manage your donkey poop (faeces) to avoid poop all over the tarmac road creating nuisance.
It continues:
No donkey will be allowed in town without this poop collecting bag by 26 May."

Donkey cart operators have already complied with the directive.
Residents have been sharing photos of donkeys with "collecting bags" on social media.
