Toilets at Nairobi Milimani law courts are all out of service

Lawyers, court staffers and other litigants prosecuting their cases at the Nairobi’s Milimani Law Courts can no longer relieve themselves in peace.

Reason? There are no operational toilets where they can do their business while within the corridors of courts.

The facilities are said to be faulty and have no water to flash after use. Foul smell emanating from the facilities due to lack of water have also made frustrated activities in the courts.

The Grapevine has learnt that only toilets at the gate are operational but the ones within the court corridors are out of use.

Litigants are forced to walk long distance to Uhuru Park to attend to nature call in an embarrassing state of affair.
