Its true that every day, close to one million people come to the city centre and a big fraction of them need lavatory services. Some twice or more daily. The good thing is that demand for this services is high at night, but because of insecurity, it is hard to operate past 9pm. Places that enjoy good security will see you operating for 24 hours.

This will give you a rough estimate of ksh 150,000 monthly. If you pay a rent of Ksh 20,000 and other miscellaneous expenses you will remain with more than ksh 100,000. This is good money and very few employer will pay you this amount.
