Maintenance of Buildings and
Clogged Toilets
The officer in charge of the police
district submitted a request for
maintenance of the lock-up,
especially to repair the clogged
toilets. However, no financial
provision was approved.
The Ministry of Home Affairs needs
to heed applications for finances to
maintain lock-up facilities, especially
blocked toilets, as there can be
overcrowding in the usable cells
otherwise.
