For two days Nairobi residents who rely on public toilets in the central business district have been forced to seek other alternatives following closure of three facilities.
The closed washrooms are located at National Archives, River-road (Coast bus) and Koja area that serve hundreds of people on a daily basis, charging Sh10.
On Wednesday traders and residents woke up to find police and county askaris manning the toilets with notices on the walls announcing the unexpected closure. "Toilets closed temporarily Nairobi County," the notice reads in part even as pressed customers hoping that mean looking young men hovering around would allow them to answer the call of nature.
Security officers were dispatched to the toilets after two rival groups clashed over the management of the toilets.
