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.

The Waruku Declaration; The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign

Friends,
In a highly attended Waruku Clean-up Campaign today, we came out with what the Director of Environment at the City Council of Nairobi Mr. Isaac Muraya decided to call the Waruku Declaration; Total war against Dumping.
The Waruku Clean-up Campaign marked exactly one year since the City Council of Nairobi started the Monthly City-wide Clean-up Campaign. The exercise was launched by the Assistant Town Clerk Mr. Dan Masetu on behalf of the Town Clerk and he called on the City residents to take personal responsibility in how we dispose of our waste and litter.

He said the Council will remain in the frontline in this campaign and they are open and ready to work with all the residents of Nairobi in keeping Nairobi clean.
The event was organized in partnership with City Council of Nairobi, Provincial Administration, Waruku Residents Association, the Westlands Association, Waruku Progressive Youth Group and KCDN.
Besides these participants, we had students and teachers from the Premier Institute, Resource Maximization and several residents.

On behalf of The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign, we want to sincerely extend our appreciation to all these teams for responding to our call; A Clean Kenya Starts With Me.
In closing the exercise, the Director of Environment Mr Muraya, who was flanked by his colleagues from the Council- Mr. Richard Mogoko- a very good Friend of KCDN. Mr. Njogoge from Education, Mr. Mario, Mr. Omondi and Mr. Miheso and several City Council employees from the Departments of Environment, Decentralization and Inspectorate, called on the residents of Nairobi to declare Total War against dumping.

He said that the Council will do all in her power to start arresting all those who litter and dump as a deterrent measure. He thanked the residents who have walked with the Council through this journey of Hope in the last one year.
He promised to help turn the City around as we mobilize for the Launch of the 2nd Year of the Clean-up Campaign on the 22nd October 2011 at Huruma Estate in what has been called The National Litter Picking Day.
We say to all Kenyans who did engage in making Kenya clean today from across all Kenya; Thank you. We had Clean-ups in Thogoto, Landimawe, Huruma, Kariobangi, Mombasa, and many more places. You did us proud. Kindly share the photos of your events online.

On behalf of the KCDN team, I want to sincerely thank all the Friends of KCDN who have made this Campaign possible.
We at KCDN firmly believe that we the People of Kenya can help Clean Kenya.
This is a campaign for Kenya by Kenyans. Let us make it a huge success......
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.
