Kanjo toilets cartel

General
1

The county government of Nairobi has a total of 150 public toilets with each making a daily income of Ksh 10,000 as reported by a local online news outlet. Combined, the 150 toilets in Nairobi collectively rake in up to Ksh 45 million per month. As of the end of 2019, Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) alone had a total of 62 public toilets which translated to a whooping Ksh 620,000 a day and amounting to around Ksh 18 million every month.
Running Public Toilets
These Public toilets are managed by a few organized individuals who control everything from paying the staff to maintenance and cleaning costs. In order to get a public toilet, one is expected to pay a monthly rental fee of Ksh 20,000 and cater for water and electricity bills to ensure the place is up and running. In an interview with one of the local dailies, Iko Toilet owner David Kuria revealed that his chain of four toilets in Nairobi CBD would earn him Ksh 40,000 every single day. His fierce competitor Tom Makale of Alika, made Ksh 70,000 every day from his chain of seven public toilets. However, this is not the maximum amount one can make from these toilets. Some of the businessmen behind successful toilets that are strategically placed are said to be taking home as much as Ksh 1.8 million every month.

So many truths, exaggerated truths, half truths and huge lies. All of those summed up are called politics.

Bagful of lies

8

45 million per month you say.

Mungich lazima wale yao

That is how they allow suspicious mutura business to continue, ndio wapate mharo ya pesa

11

No way bana tumbo huleta shida inabidi unapeana 10 bob

12

Ndio maana haawezi kubali vibanda za chips mwitu na mutura zifingwe. They know they are generating customers for them. But kudos to the current model. Kitamob choo ya kanjo ilikuwa na milima za mavi na wapiga ngeta ndio walikuwa wanacontrol. Many poeple lost their lives in those toilets

13

atleast saa hii zinatumika

14

People knew not to go near those places. You would be insane to walk in there especially after 6 pm. There was only one I ever peed in near Burma market. And even then we were a group. And it was quick in and out.

15

Very true. Ni shamba la mawe

16

Hizi ni peanuts, wachana na wale wanasema ni siasa. They rake in more.

17

Wale wanaenda kunyora SJ mjue mnafanya City Hall wakose pesa za development.

18

Kukula unalipa,
Kukunia unalipa pia… ni nini hulipi Nairobi hii?

Regardless, in a functioning society toilets are free for everyone. A failed country is where people are charged to do what nature calls of them. Kenya is an example

I know the “owner” of the toilets at OTC Nairobi, and i know for a fact he rakes in more than 30k daily from it

I’ve had this idea for a minute. I’ll actualize it someday.
