Lamu Residents Want Donkeys Dressed In Napkins

Lamu residents have come protesting the rate at which the donkeys are affecting their environment and drainage.They now want them dressed in napkins ,to lower the health hazard.
They were speaking during a fiscal strategy public participation forum at Lamu Fort on Tuesday.
Also considering the fact that donkeys are the main use of transport since the roads are narrow for vehicles ,the residents requested the county government to implement the proposed rule since it has worked successfully in Malaysia  and Indonesia.

Lamu women's rep Shakilla Abdalla recently said that all donkeys found loitering at night would be held and their owners fined.

Abdalla said the money collected would be used to clean the streets.

“The police should also arrest those riding donkeys at night. Donkeys don’t have headlights and there have been cases where they have knocked children down," she said.

The county government was urged  to hire more workers as a permanent   was being sorted out since also the number of donkeys are increasing in Lamu.
