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.

The Kongowea Market Forum

Friends,
The last one week has been real hectic for us at KCDN and The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign.
On the 2nd March 2012, we met with stakeholders at Kondele Estate in our first planning session for the Kondele Clean-up Campaign. We are in discussions with Maseno University and Kisumu Polytechnic and we are happy that the Municipal Council of Kisumu has convened a Stakeholders Forum involving the Kisumu Residents to help plan for the day.
Today the 6th March 2012, we were in a Leaders Meeting at Kongowea Market which was also attended by Cllr Ali Rashid of Airport and Cllr Peter Oduor from Changamwe. Cllr Karama from Kongowea was indisposed and he sent his apologies through Ms. Betty Sharon of the Coast Women in Development.
Seated L-R; Mzee, Mr. Nyaga, Women Leader, Cllr Rashid, Ms Betty Sharon, Cllr Oduor and Odhiambo T Oketch. Chairman Mtsumi is standing in the middle.
The meeting was a planning session for the March 17th Nationwide Clean-up Campaign and was ably chaired by Mr. Ali Mtsumi- the Chairman of the Kongowea Market Central Committee.
Several issues of great concern to the Market Traders were raised and we will be passing the same to the Town Clerk and the Permament Secretary Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government in a Memoranda.
Cllrs Rashid and Oduor following the proceedings
We agreed that on the 17th March 2012, as part of the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign, the Councilors and the Municipal Leaders will be joining the Kongowea Wholesale Market Traders, Coast Women in Development, KCDN and any other willing partners in Cleaning the Market, and this will be a Monthly Exercise.

We have made a very clear resolve that we want to make Kongowea Wholesale Market a Model Market in East and Central Africa, and we want to thank the Public Service Transformation Department at the OPM, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Nairobi Metropolitan Development, the Provincial Administration, the Local Authorities and the many Friends of KCDN for being part of this Great Transformative Agenda in our Journey of Hope across Kenya.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change we seek'- President Barack Obama of the USA.

A Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50 is possible and achievable.
