People working in Kimironko market and around it have cried foul of public bin that is causing health threat after flooded.
Rubbishes have been dropped in the public bin for long time and it is full and flooded causing improper hygiene.
The place has been filled with a terrible smell and flies scattered around from the big public rubbish bin that collects all rubbish from the market and neighboring areas.
Felix Nzamwita, a butcher in the market, said they have reported the issue to the authority including one in charge of hygiene in the sector.
He said, “We try to use insecticide every time before closing our work in the evening that is why you find our butchery sane; otherwise the authority should take serious measures for sure.”
He added that once a client comes for the first time, he or she considers them as filthy.
Florence Uwimana, a servant in one of the restaurants neighbouring the market named IGISUBIZO, said that they have been accustomed to the situation for they are used to buying insecticide for flies and other insects.
She says, “at least they should cover that rubbish bin……, we are familiar with that smell and we always buy insecticide to kill all the wondering insects which may harm people’s lives.”
Mbonyinshuti said, “we faced the problem of the good placement of the rubbish bin and there was no entrepreneur; for that reason we charged it to the head of the market to deal with it. They tried to solve it in a good way but the interruption was that the rubbish bin got out of use.
He added that the district authority promised them to help in fully solving the problem.
With regard to the problem of the weekends where the rubbish is not removed, MBONYINSHUTI agreed that it was really a serious problem but it was recently solved in collaboration with the Head of the market.
This occurs after various people in different places have been recently complaining on the delay in removing the rubbish in collection bins.
