Friends,
The November Clean Up Exercise will be held on 20th November 2010 and in Nairobi, our focal point will be at Dagoreti Shopping Centre. We are inviting all the residents of East Africa to come out in large numbers to join in this Clean-Up Campaign.
We are inviting you to each take personal charge of where you are. Come out and help clean your immediate environs. If you are a group, target the worst hit areas in your neighbourhoods.
We appreciate Friends and Colleagues who will be driving the same exercise all across East Africa. Let us unite and do something for our region, in the spirit of the East African Community. I want to specifically write to groups that have written to me from Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zambia. This is our region, let us help keep her clean. As we do this, Rwanda and Kigali in particular remains our driving force. If they can get it that right, we can all get it equally right.
I want to appreciate groups that have written to me and confirmed that they will be on the trenches from Busia, Kitale, Kakamega, Kisumu, Maseno, Eldoret, Nakuru, Meru, to Mombasa. I want to encourage many more CBOs, NGOs, FBOs and all Friends of Nature to join in and do something.
I want to also thank the City Council of Nairobi and the Provincial Administration in Nairobi for the commitment they have shown to this process so far. I must appreciate that the Department of Environment under Mr. Isaac Muraya are going all the way out to ensure that this becomes our tradition.
We are in discussions with various institutions about this monthly initiative and as soon as they come on board, we will come public with the details. But in the meantime, let us all roll our sleeves and move to the trenches. East Africa must be the destination of choice for the world.
This will be our last Exercise this year before we all break for a deserved Christmas. When we come back in January 2011, we will give details of who are on board with us. We will also give guidelines on how best this initiative will work all across East Africa with each town taking care of her needs.
Lastly, I want to appreciate the people of East Africa for the commitment they are showing with this initiative. We believe that in the new year, we will make it a process that impacts knowledge on Environmental Conservation to our people all across East Africa.
Peace and blessings to us all.
