Friends,
It is amazing what Kenyans can do for themselves.
Cllr Kinoti- in shorts, leading from the front line at Zimmerman today the 21st Jan 2012
We converged today morning at Zimmerman Estate- Base, for the start of The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign this Year with The Base being our Focal Point.
We are impressed with reports we are receiving from many groups around the Country about what they were able to do. On behalf of The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign Team, we are saying; Thank You, and a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya starts with Me.
We want to appreciate the many residents of Zimmerman led by area Assistant Chief Mr. Kaindi and the area Cllr Kinoti for leading from the front line. We must sincerely thank the Chief whose efforts at mobilization and presence made a lot of difference.
We want to sincerely thank the City Council of Nairobi and in particular, Ms Rose Kunga, The Divisional Environment Officer, who despite having a sick child at home, was still able to be present with us, leading from the front. The Council brought for us the working tools and a truck to cart away the garbage that we collected.

There were many Groups, both Youth and Women who joined us and we must appreciate their participation. We were excited when the Chief arrested a truck that had come to dump garbage in an area that we had just cleaned. I have never seen a truck driver take off in such flight. I am sure even Carl Lewis could not match this guy with that instant take off!
To the Volunteers, you all proved to Kenya and the World at large that a small team can make all the difference we need.
The Chief had to prove that he is firmly in charge
With this done and over with, our focus now shifts to Mombasa Town for the February Clean-up Campaign. Our Focal Point will be Mombasa in February and on 2nd and 3rd February, we will be hosting a series of meetings and an Awareness Campaign on Separation of Waste at Source in the Coastal Town of Mombasa.
We will then host The Consultative Forum with willing Groups in Mombasa led by The Mombasa Green City Initiative on the 9th February to help plan for the Clean-up Campaign which we will host on the 18th February. It is encouraging that many Groups have been reaching to us on this and we want to encourage as many organized Groups across Kenya to step forward and help us achieve a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya.
On the 11th February, we will join with the residents of Mwatate in celebrating the Malaika Festival in memory of the Great Fadhili Williams. On that day in the morning, we will host a Satellite Clean-up Campaign at Mwatate in an event which is being organized by Mr. Duncan Mwanyumba and his Team.
The event will be presided over by the Provincial Administration, the Civic Authority, Local Leaders and many Groups have been mobilized to take part.
Action time at Zimmerman
Lastly, we want to appreciate Ms Dorothy Otieno and Cllr Kinoti for giving us Kshs 3,000.00 each today to help the Volunteers with some refreshments. This was a show of commitment to The Campaign and we want to urge all those who are able to support this Campaign to step up and join us in the Trenches.
We need your support to make this Campaign a success.
A Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50 is possible and achievable. It only needs some small morning passion, determination and commitment.
