In Kabale

The only public toilet at Kabale Main stadium in Kabale Municipality in Kabale District is in a sorry state.

The public toilet serves over 100 locals especially Ballers, hookers, Christians during Conferences and Boda Boda operators from the nearby taxi stage and travelers.
The members of public pay Shillings 300 to access the public toilet.

Residents interviewed by our reporter expressed concern about their safety, saying the public toilet is in a very sorry state.

They observed that the area is likely to face cholera and dysentery outbreak due to the unfavorable conditions of the toilet.

They also said that the situation has been alarming especially when the stadium hosts functions..
They further complained about paying Shillings 300 to use such a dirty facility, saying it isn’t worth it.

The situation wasn’t any different with the public toilet at Kabale yard in Kigongi Ward Kabale municipality among others.

Kabale district has around 10 public toilets in the Municipality, but most of them do not have separate cubicles or space for women.

Andrew Beija, the Kabale Municipal Health Officer on A phone interview admitted the sanitation challenges, saying they are struggling to improve but noted that the toilet has an attendant responsible for its sanitation.

By the time of compiling this report, it was futile for our reporter to get a comment from an attendant of that public toilet because he was nowhere to be seen.

Kabale municipality is one of the municipalities that were gazzeted by parliament in 2000’s.
