The lawmaker said buckets usually used in cells as toilets for both long and short calls make the environment inside horrible. The MPs now say they want to use their legislative powers to reform and improve the condition of the facilities. MPs should advocate for cells to have clean toilets," she said. Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire said he felt dehumanised having to use a bucket toilet, for both short and long calls, during his stint in the cells. After that, they would clean up and when the cell door clanked open, one of them carried the bucket to empty the excrement in the pit latrine outside.
