Turkana, Mandera and Migori counties have the highest number of residents who practice open defecation in fields, forests, bushes, lakes and rivers, and in open pits with no slabs– rather than using a toilet, a new survey shows.
The study by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), which covered all 47 counties, shows that Turkana leads in open defecation with 72.6 percent of households using bush and hanging toilets, almost three times the national average.
