Schools have been asked to ensure toilets and latrines are safe for use by teachers and students. Nakuru Public Health Officer Samuel King’ori said his office has dispatched officers to sub-counties to inspect sanitation facilities.

This came after three primary schools, one in Nakuru and two in Rongai, were forced to close down indefinitely after pit latrines collapsed due to the heavy rains currently pounding the area.
