Dear Friends,
The Minister for Public Health and Sanitation Hon Beth Mugo today called upon all the law enforcement agencies such as the Police, Public Health Officers, Local Authority Askaris and the People of Kenya to apprehend all those who litter and deposit garbage in our neighbourhoods and by our roads.
Dr Gamaliel Omondi delivering the Speech of the Hon Beth Mugo- Minister for Public Health and Sanitation at St John's Community Centre after todays Clean Up Campaign at Pumwani- 21st July 2012
In a speech read on her behalf by Dr Gamaliel Omondi- the Senior Assistant Chief Public Health Officer at her Ministry during this Month's Clean-up Campaign at Pumwani, the Minister appreciated the efforts of The Clean Kenya CampaignTCKC in sensitizing Kenyans to be more responsive to the needs of a Clean and sustainable environment.
Giving Practical Steps- Mr. Otieno Sungu- The Programmes Manager at The Clean Kenya Campaign in the trenches.
Hon Mugo invited all Cities, Municipal and Town CEOs in Kenya to embrace and actively participate in the Monthly Clean-ups and Awareness Campaigns every Month. She echoed Prof Karega Mutahi- the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government, who had called on all the Town and County Clerks to set aside every 3rd Saturday of every Month between 7.00am and 9.00am to embrace this noble exercise in a speech to mark The World Clean-up Day in March 2012 in Umoja Estate.
Expressing her personal support for The Clean Kenya Campaign, she noted that it was her wish to request every Kenyan to participate because Solid Waste Management is a challenge that affects all the urban areas and impacts negatively on health as heaps of garbage form breeding grounds for disease vectors such as mosquitoes and rodents.

Hon Mugo called on Town and County Clerks to create order within their areas of jurisdiction and enforce the relevant by-laws. She also called for massive civic education for those who may not know the qualities of separation of waste at source noting that waste must be viewed as wealth. This is an idea whose time has come and her Ministry will encourage Local Authorities and Environmental Health Department to designate central garbage collection points within all estates to enable the process of separation of waste at source to take root.
Our Children were not left behind. A Clean Kenya is our collective responsibility
The Minister urged the Local Authorities to engage in training people on the process of separation of solid wastes into different types of waste to make it easy to transport to the various recyclers and converters.
As Kenya celebrates her 50 years of Independence next year, she appealed to the Local Authorities in Kenya to ensure that as we celebrate, we do so within clean environments. To this end, her Ministry will be working with relevant stakeholders, including TCKC, to enhance cleanliness in our Towns.

We will be posting the full text of the Speech by Hon Beth Mugo- Minister for Public Health and Sanitation.
And on behalf of The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC, I want to sincerely appreciate the Hon Minister for joining with us in this campaign. We are determined to work for a clean Kenya in partnership with all Kenyans and Friends of Kenya.
The City Council were at hand with their tracks to cart the garbage away
We sincerely appreciate all the teams that joined with us at Pumwani today, and we want to look forward to a bigger participation next Month in Mombasa. More photos are posted on the Facebook Page Odhiambo T Oketch .
