To crown the whole process, Mr. Otieno Sungu- The Programmes Manager at The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC, helped the Forum to come up with practical steps as a means of moving forward. He took the Forum through what we must do, and do it now. He said that we must not promise that we will do this or that in the Year 2013, 2015, or 20 whatever, yet, we can as well do it now.
Mr. Otieno Sungu of The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC crowning the moment. Seated L-R are Mr. Ruto- The Ward Manager, Odhiambo T Oketch, MsBeatrice Vukutsa and Ms Lillian Akoth - both from the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation.

We are pleased that the various arms of Government and The Clean Kenya Campaign Team have set very clear and deliverable objective for Kenya; A Clean Kenya by 1st June 2013.
Let us all work towards realizing this.
