Two women were on Thursday arrested by public health officers and taken to Meru police station for allegedly storing faeces in buckets inside their houses and later pouring it in a river.
Njue Gitonga,
who lives in Mjini slums, and is their neighbour, said he met one of the women carrying a bucket and when he inquired about the contents, she refused to say what they were.
"I was shocked to see that he was carrying faeces. I called the area chief who was shocked and he told me to guard the suspect as he called public health officers," Gitonga said.
Amina Mukami said has a running stomach and cannot hold until she relieves herself outside.
"I wanted to get out but I could not hold much longer," she said.
The two are being held by police at Meru police station.
