Bannyahe: The sordid armpit of posh Nyarutarama

‘Bannyahe’ is a ‘not so polite’ name given to a slum in Nyarutarama, Remera Sector in Gasabo District. It is beleieved that the area got its moinker ‘Bannyahe’ (loosely translated as “where do they defecate from?”) because of its lack of pit latrines. Visitors there would wonder where the inhabitants go to answer nature’s call. Hence, the name Bannyahe.
