Health officials in Mityana town council have closed a building for lacking latrines. The complex, located in Toninyiramukange Market, belongs to the Mubende District Teachers’ Association. It houses shops, a metal workshop, a bar, restaurant and over 10 families. It is one of the busiest and biggest in the town. 

The assistant town clerk, Gonzaga Ssebulime, after leading a sanitation awareness exercise, said they had warned the teacher’s body several times. “We are ensuring that our people are safe. We cannot allow a building to operate in this state,” he told The New Vision on Monday. 

He said more buildings would be closed over the same reason. “The operation will continue until we wipe out all the structures without latrines,” he added.
