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.

Updates and Invitations; The Kisumu Campaign

Colleagues,
Kisumu is indeed going to be the best campaign we have had under the on going series of The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign. Why do I say this?
I have talked with the Town Clerk Mr. Nkere, the Mayor Cllr Okello, The Director of Environment Mr. Sande, the Hon MP Olago Aluoch and many Stakeholders based in Kisumu and we are all agreed that we must make Kisumu Great.
Hon Olago will be inviting a few of his Parliamenatary colleagues and we have agreed with him; NO POLITICS. Cllr Okello will also be inviting a few of his Mayarol colleagues with preference to the Mayors of Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret and Kisii, these being the Towns that have hosted us in the past.
The Town Clerk will also invite his colleagues from the 4 Towns as the Director of Environment will. This means, we will have a quorum in Kisumu.
I have talked with Mr Dave Okwatch and his Team, Mr. Zacheus Okoth and his Team, Mr. Paul Kathero and his Team, Cllr Caroline, The Chairman of Environment Department- his name escapes me, Mr. David Ochieng from Kisumu Polytechnic and I have talked and met many corporate heads based in Kisumu. Many more people have called us from Kisumu and sent us emails of encouragement. They all agree on one thing; The 7th Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign at Jubilee Market is going to be simply the best. I bet we do not need less.
Let Kisumu set the standards that all Kenya will envy. And let the Corporates who can give us support come on board.
We are all agreed that Kisumu must be the Turning Point in The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign. And we must make it happen.
We at KCDN -www.kcdnkenya.org http://kcdnkomarockswatch.blogspot.com firmly believe that we the People of Kenya can help Clean Kenya. And to this extent, we want to rely on your support.
Besides what the Council will be offering in terms of working tools and tracks to cart away the garbage, we need your support in the following areas, and time is of real essence;
  1. Water,
  2. Spades
  3. Fork Jembes
  4. Slashers
  5. Gloves
  6. Masks
  7. Wheel barrows
Besides this, we also need to congregate at a venue immediately after the Clean-up Campaign. This means we need the following;
  1. Venue for the meeting
  2. Tents and chairs
  3. PA System
  4. Entertainemnt- Ohangla moro, school choir, women troupe, youth dance etc
Lastly, we need your financial support to enable us at KCDN continue with this campaign. We will be arriving in Kisumu on Wednesday and will be part of the preparations till the D-day. This means a few things;
  1. Transport and
  2. Accommodation
We hence want to appeal for your generous support to help us run this campaign. I will be meeting with Hon Olago Aluoch on Tuesday the 12th July in Nairobi to enable us put everything into perspective. We will also be meeting with the Town Clerk and His Worship the Mayor on the 13th July immediately we arrive in Kisumu.
Then on Thursday, we are all invited for the final preparatory meeting at the Town Hall. This meeting will be convened by the Director of Environment and will be chaired by the Town Clerk. Kindly attend in person, but if you cannot avoid it, please send a nominee.
The meeting will be at exactly 10.00am at the Town Hall at the Municipal Council of Kisumu.
This is a campaign for Kenya by Kenyans. Let us make it big......
If it is to be, it is up to me. A Clean  Kenya  Starts With me. A Peaceful Kenya is my Responsibility.
Disclaimer; The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign is about us Kenyans. It involves all Kenyans from the various regions, religious persuasions, political thinking and we do not discriminate against any Kenyans nor any region.
Peace and blessings,
