Open defecation and lack of proper sanitation remain a major problem that the county and national governments have been struggling to address for several years.
Despite the multi-faceted approaches that have seen the government splash millions of shillings into programs to change public perception of toilet use, open defecation remains a significant problem in the country.
Open defecation refers to the act of relieving oneself in the open, in fields, in bushes, in farms, or water bodies.
According to the Ministry of Health, it is one of the health concerns the country continues to face.
