Friends,
Peace Building, being our 2nd Pillar at The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign is of key importance to us at the Clean-up Campaign and to Kenyans generally.
This coming Saturday- the 21st April 2012, we will join with the Residents of Eldoret, the Municipal Council of Eldoret, the Provincial Administration, Eldoret Green Town Initiative, the Centre for Community Dialogue and Development, and many more partners in the Eldoret Clean-up Campaign at Kapsoya Estate.
Before then, on the 19th April, we will be hosting 300 Elders, Women and Youth Leaders each from the Nandi and the Luo side along the common borders in Muhoroni and Nandi Districts for a meeting which will listen to the Resolutions that the two Teams have sent to us.
This will be a friendly meeting where we will all share in brotherhood as we seek a lasting solution to this perennial issue. We are happy to note that healing process is ongoing in some sections of Songor and Tinderet and we will also listen to the key architects of this peace process.
Again, Peace Building is a delicate process and we now want to bring all the Peace Efforts along this area to conclusion. We have had several interventions from many players and it is our considered opinion that the area residents need to be given a break to enable them live in peace and engage in positive acts of developments.
There have also been the issue of careless speeches whose authors care less about the ramification of their speeches. We are inviting all Peace Loving Kenyans not to listen to such careless speeches. When we are hurting, when we are burning our neighbours houses, when we kill each other and when we displace each other, such careless leaders are never there with us.
We never burn their houses.
We never kill their relatives or them.
We never displace them.
And they are always never hurt when we fight.
So, why must we kill and displace each other for people who have never lived in our midst? Time has come when we must confront the hard questions and deal with them in broad day light.
As we invite all the Peace Actors in the region to join us for these meetings at Kibigori and at Chemase on the 19th April 2012, we want to sincerely thank the National Steering Committee on Peace Building and Conflict Management, the DC Muhoroni and the DC Nandi East, the CCDD and all the Friends of KCDN for joining hands in this delicate process.
Lastly, we will be joining with the people of Kitale on the 28th as they launch the Monthly Clean-up Campaign in Kitale then.
In God we trust and in Peace we shall live.
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 Peaceful, Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50 is possible and achievable.
