Takeo assures end to open defecation by 2025

[geovalin]

Takeo provincial authorities have announced its commitment to ensuring 100 percent of its population has access to latrines by 2025. Provincial Department of Rural Development director Liv Samnang said yesterday around 24 percent of the population still do not have accessible latrines.

 

“Some people still defecate in the forests or plantations, despite the fact the health department has educated them regarding issues surrounding open defecation. While we have disseminated information on how to build latrines, some people are too poor to construct their own toilets,” he said.

 

Samnang also said some people live in areas prone to flooding so they are not able to build such structures. “The department has already built more than 15,000 public toilets,” he added. Currently, the provincial department and administration are also considering building floating toilets for those in flood-prone areas, he said.

Too poor to dig a hole, or just too lazy?

That’s one heck of a headline.  
 

Upon reading the story ... 2025?  Things in the kingdom move slowly if not well greased with money but 5 years to get some toilets up and running?

Didn't see it Takeo is Cambodia. I can't apply for Thai citizenship since I don't know the provinces...

When I saw that reference, it reminded me of an old Alka-Seltzer slogan.
