In a move that has left many residents and commuters in Kumasi reeling, public toilet operators in the city have increased their fees by a whopping 25%. The sudden hike in fees has sparked widespread outrage and concern among the public, who are already struggling to make ends meet.
According to reports, the new fees came into effect on July 1, 2024, and have seen the cost of using public toilets in Kumasi rise significantly. The operators have attributed the increase to rising maintenance costs, fuel prices, and other expenses.
While the operators may have valid reasons for the hike, many users are finding it difficult to stomach the sudden increase. "This is unacceptable," said one frustrated resident. "We are already paying so much for basic services, and now they want us to pay even more to use the toilet?"
The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly has yet to comment on the matter, leaving many to wonder if the hike has been approved by the authorities. As the debate rages on, one thing is certain - the people of Kumasi are feeling the pinch.
