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.

Launch of the KCDN Website

Speech by Hon Robinson Njeru Githae, EGH, Minister for Nairobi Metropolitan Development on the occasion of the Launch of the KCDN Website on 20th April 2011 at Charter Hall.
Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I wish to convey my appreciation and that of the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development on this auspicious occasion as you launch your organization’s website.

Mr Brian Ouma- CEO Daisys Eye Cancer Fund and Odhiambo T Oketch witnessing the launch of the KCDN Website.
It is gratifying to note that your organization has taken steps in keeping with the provisions of our new constitution particularly in ensuring the right to a clean and healthy environment in their neighbourhoods.
I have been informed that your organization has already undertaken clean-up in Nairobi and Mombasa and eventually rolling out to other urban centres in Kenya. This is very encouraging as it enhances entrenchment of culture of citizen responsibility for cleaning their immediate neighbourhoods and business places.
                                     Dr Matunda Nyachama launching the KCDN Website 
As a Ministry, we encourage you to continue involving neighbourhood groups in clean-up activities as this helps create awareness on the benefits of a clean environment. I know through these activities, you have greatly helped the residents of Nairobi and other urban centres realize that solid waste is a resource and not necessarily a disposal problem.
                                                       Welcome to www.kcdnkenya.org
It is encouraging that your clean-up activities take place on the 4th Saturday of every month which is in tandem with my Ministry’s clean-up programme already scheduled in the Metropolitan Region. We are open to collaborate with you as well as other like minded organizations in this endevour.
As I conclude my remarks, let me assure you that the government is very committed to addressing the issues of solid waste management in the Metropolitan Region to mitigate against the effects of rapid increase in population. As Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development, we have held eighteen (18) clean-up exercises within the Metropolitan Region since September 2009.

Thank you.
