Students and the general public visiting Makerere University are decrying the state of toilets at the Makerere police station.
This, Campus Bee has learnt, is because the ones police usually hijack are in halls of residence and other buildings in the university which cannot be accessed currently since they are under lock and key.
One of the students who visited the place recently could not hide his dismay.
“The last time I was there it had rained and I badly needed to ease myself. But my brother, the toilets are suffocatingly nasty. You cannot hold a minute in there,” narrated Edgar Twine, a Makerere student.
We were unable to talk to the OC of the station because of his tight work schedule, but information we got from some officers who demanded to remain anonymous indicate that they are tired of their rotting toilets which can’t be comfortably used.
We are also reliably informed that because of that level of stench, unidentified people are depositing their human waste everywhere around the station.
The toilets near the guild offices ,we have learnt, were constructed in 1940, 66 years back.
Earlier this year in June, Marvin Ssasi under a charity organisation ‘Makutano’ co-ordinated a fundraising drive to raise about shs. 12 million that would rehabilitate the police station.
However, the campaign was suspended due to public anger, negative perception of the police force, and vitriol that social media users poured against the project. In the end, not even a single shilling was raised.
“Our sole determination is to resuscitate and pull through with the project”, Ssasi says.
