Welcome to KCDN

This is KCDN, an Environmental Management, Economic Empowerment and Poverty Eradication Civil Society.

We welcome you to our site. Kindly feel free to share with us your thoughts. Ideas that add value will be appreciated. Ideas that want to make us improve our physical environment will be welcome. And more so, ideas that redirect us from the lost cause will be of immense value.

It is us who will improve the lot of our Environment, our Economy and make Kenya a Clean Country, where People join hands to work for our own Economic Emancipation and where Municipal Solid Waste Management is looked at as a resource, not as waste.

We need to set the standards in this region of the World and become the referral point in how a people can join hands and work for their own Economic Liberation, where waste can be used as raw material and become a source of employment for our people.

Our collective actions will surely make a difference. This is why in partnership with our Key Strategic Partners- The Public Service Transformation Department, the National Environment Management Authority, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation,other key Ministries, the Local Authorities in Kenya, the Provincial Administration, A Better World, Akiba Uhaki Foundation and other Partners, we are moving deliberately in sensitizing and mobilizing Kenyans to work towards A Clean Kenya where waste is separated at source.

And this is why we are inviting Kenyans to join with us in The Clean Kenya Campaign and be a Member of Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd

Welcome.

Bursery Funds in the Constituencies

At KCDN [http://kcdnkomarockswatch.blogspot.com],we are faced with such cases on a daily basis.

In our follow up of these cases, we have found out that in most cases, CDF is used as a political tool to punish and to reward.

Our MPs are not as sincere in disbursement of the funds to needy cases as is by law required. In most cases, it is children of supporters who access these funds. That is the sad reality.

A casual look at all the CDF funds already disbursed to all the 210 constituencies in the country since 2004 makes nonsense of the reality on the ground. That money could have financed the education of all the bright children coming from vulnerable groups. But the truth of the matter is that littel attention has been paid to all cases that are deserving.

We need to mobilize Kenyans to know that CDF is their money and it is meant for all such deserving cases without necessarily being political supporters.

This is also the sad condition that is obtaining at the National level where Kenya has received a lot of money in form of Grants and Loans from development partners since Independence in 1963, and yet, we have nothing to show for it.
