Poor storage at Ntcheu bus depot is forcing vendors doing their business in the depot to store foodstuffs in toilet structures.<\/p>\n
A visit at the premises yesterday morning found vendors removing foodstuffs from the toilet structure at the bus depot<\/p>\n
The vendors are storing their merchadise in a room adjacent to the toilets since the main store room is closed earlier.<\/p>\n
Chairperson for the depot Lovemore Kamtsitsi confirmed the development saying the behaviour is a threat to their businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is true that some vendors store foodstuffs inside the toilet structure in a room not meant for food storage, such practice will be a threat to our business since it will be hard for travellers to buy foodstuffs from us,\u201d Kamtsitsi said.<\/p>\n
He urged all people who conduct business inside the depot to use the designated store room which is at a distance from the toilet aimed at observing hygiene practices.<\/p>\n
In his remarks, Ntcheu District Commissioner Smart Gwedemula expressed concern with the malpractice saying the council will not tolerate such gross unhygienic practice happening in the depot.<\/p>\n
He revealed that the depot has a store room in which sellers conducting business inside the depot are supposed to store all foodstuffs when knocking off from their businesses.<\/p>\n
\u201cSuch conduct should stop immediately since we have a warehouse where all merchandise are supposed to be stored not in a toilet building,\u201d Gwedemula said.<\/p>\n
Gwedemula threatened to terminate the contract with the toilet operator if the trend continues, saying the council has all the authority to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
