As the country joins the rest of the world to mark the world toilet day, Kampala capital city authority is urged to partner with local authorities in slum areas to construct modern toilets.

According to the Kisenyi 2 LC1 chairman Swaibu Kwenyi, the village has only one public toilet which was constructed eight years ago and not operational anymore.

He says the community is at high risk of contracting diseases like cholera due to poor hygiene.

He says that many people in such communities still use polythene bags that are littered in drainages.

The day was gazetted by the UN general assembly to highlight the importance of toilets in ensuring proper hygiene.
