Mavoko Constituency Development Fund is constructing modern public toilets at the region's deputy county commissioner's offices in Athi River town.

The project is to provide government officers operating in the offices and their clients with modest washrooms to use in case they feel oppressed as opposed to the current situation.

"Currently, we only have two iron sheet pit latrines being used by all the officers and their clients in this premises. A few offices constructed not long ago have toilets for only a few officials," said Lillian Otieno.

Lillian Otieno, the sub-county probation officer who spoke to this writer at the construction site on Friday, said even though the national government constructed her a modern probation department's offices with in built art of state washrooms, they were limited to only senior staff hence the importance of the on going CDF project.

Otieno said that the project will enable members of the public to respond to calls of nature under clean sanitation without getting embarrassed.

The project is also being celebrated by a few youth from the region who have been engaged in its construction works either as masons or casuals.

Sources from the area CDF office, well familiar to the project said it will take less than two months to get completed and handed over to the deputy county commissioner.
