Dear Friends,
This Saturday, the 17th March 2012, willing Kenyans will be joining hands across the Country in The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign. Our Focal Point for this Months Clean-up Campaign will be Kondele Estate in Kisumu. But we will have some presence in some selected Towns as well on the same day.
It is important to note that at KCDN, we have been in the fore front in mobilizing and sensitizing Kenyans for the need to keep our neighbourhoods clean. We started this Campaign way back in 2009 in Komarock, then launched the City Wide Clean-up Campaign in Nairobi in 2010.
In 2011, we launched similar Campaigns in Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisii, Kisumu, Kakamega, Nyeri and Naivasha. In sensitizing Kenyans on the need to keep a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya, we have worked closely with the following Institutions;
Waste and Litter Management in our Country has been bedeviled by poor management and in most cases vested interests. This has made all previous attempts at coming with tangible solutions to be difficult. We are determined to break the case of vested interests in waste management in Kenya. And we are achieving this by creating a water tight team of partners in the fight for a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya.
And we can only achieve this by involving the people, the various interest groups and having some solid backing from the Government and the Local Authorities. We must put our foot down on this with very clear determination.
We took a study on the Waste Management situation in Kenya and came up with a solution; that the People of Kenya must be in the front line to help make Kenya Clean, Green and Litter Less. The Government and the Local Authorities will then play a supplementary role in this process through the principles of Private Public Partnership.
When the people take charge of the waste process management, then, waste will be a source of wealth for our people. And we want to encourage all our Partners to take pro-active approach and show leadership in this process in their various regions.
In our drive, we are working with many Youth and Women Groups across Kenya to achieve this. We are in constant communication with them, and we have faith that our concerted efforts will help achieve the Kenya that we all desire.
We must appreciate the role our Government Officers, Local Authority Officers, Corporate Partners and Friends of KCDN have played in this Transformative Agenda for Kenya. Kenya will be turning 50 years Old next Year and our desire is that we all join hands and do something.
This is why we have kept meeting Kenyans in our Awareness Campaign on Separation of Waste at Source. This is why we have kept hosting the Consultative Forums across Kenya. And this is why the Clean-ups have been successful.
At the stage where we have reached now, we need to create more stronger partnerships that will now help address the challenges that come with such massive mobilization and out reach programmes. And we are addressing this with our Partners.
We are looking forward to the Government, the Local Authorities, the Corporates and the Friends of KCDN redoubling their efforts in making this Programme Work. We have the capacities and the capabilities of making Kenya a Clean, Green and Litter Less Country. We have people well read in the technologies that we need for waste conversion to Fuels, Bio-Gas, Compost Manure, Chicken Feeds, etc. We have many Kenyans scattered all over the World whose input, strategic and technological advice can make a difference.
Reach out to us and give us your story and experience. Then let us know what role you may play in this Great Transformation.
We know we can add to the National Grid from Waste Management, and we know, this process can lead to shortage of waste in Kenya with the resultant benefit of lighting up many of our homes. This is the Kenya we are looking forward to. This is the Kenya that we all desire, a Kenya where our kids will be growing in a clean and healthy environment.
A Kenya where when we retire from public service, we will sit by the fire sides and say thanks to God the Almighty for having enabled us to be key players in Transforming Kenya.
Europe had the Industrial Revolution. Let us have the Waste Revolution in Kenya.
Let us join hands and work for a Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50. Let us turn out in large numbers to make this process a success. And if you want to support our process and become our Partner, kindly reach out to us.
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.
