Ramadhan Zizo a resident in the area revealed how he found out about the woman who had fallen into the latrine.

“When my kid had gone to brush his teeth, I found him shocked saying there’s someone who had plunged into the latrine. When I got there I found the woman inside.”

Residents revealed that the woman stepped on the concrete slab of the pit latrine to evade soaking her feet on stagnant water that was on the pathway.

The weak structure, however, caved in leaving the woman stuck at the bottom of the pit, but luckily enough the pit was empty.

Residents have raised alarms over the rising cases of pit latrines caving in the area in recent months due to poorly built structures.

Abel Karama a resident of Inuka noted that rains pounding the area were to blame for the rising cases of pits caving in.

“The heavy rains have rendered many pits in Likoni weak because of negligence. People are supposed to reinforce the structure with steel.”

Nziza Musyoka noted that the area has a number of pits which were left open, “In this area, you’ll find uncovered pits up to 30-feet deep and we have raised concerns severally but nothing has been done.”

The woman was rushed to hospital in a motorbike but had seemingly suffered only minor injuries.
