Migori residents have been warned against defecating in the bush and sugarcane plantations, and encouraged to build toilets in their homesteads as Governor Ochilo Ayacko’s administration strives to reach 100 per cent of latrine coverage.

Despite the county government recording a latrine coverage of 83. 22 per cent, Migori Health County Executive Committee member (CECm) Caleb Opondi said they must strive to close the remaining gaps, ensure access for all, and sustain the gains they have made.
