Technically you could make electricity from a pit latrine if you could somehow harness the gas that is produced in the process of biodegredation. Methane is used for fuel.
The "sitting" of a pit toilet is not important. "Sitting" on it is what you do after it is constructed. However the "siting" of the pit is important because it must be located such that the effluent it generates does not seep into the well water being used and such that the smells it may produce are remote from the habitation it serves.
When making electricity from a pit latrine you will have to make a bio digester. Which is when effluent from the pit is decomposed and methane gas liberated. This gas can be for cooking, heating and running a spark ignition engine.

A pit privy is a latrine with an outhouse over it. A hole is dug in the earth, an outbuilding is placed over it for convenience and privacy, and people use it for sanitary elimination. (A latrine is simply a hole or trench that is used for human elimination, then covered as needed.) A pit privy may be covered as needed and the outhouse building above moved to a new location.
