Practical steps towards separation of waste at source

Dear Sam,

Much appreciated, IOPK set the ball rolling in 1998, we need to ensure we get to the logical conclusion of separation of waste. We are happy to have had you and IOPK both during our 1st consultative meeting at Charter Hall on 11th July 2012 where you shared very insightful ideas.

We also held a meeting with both you and Dr. Robert Arunga recently in Kileleshwa where we agreed to explore mutual cooperation and ways we can bring our strengths together to achieve a clean Kenya but more so, create wealth and opportunities in the process.

By virtue of this, IOPK is acknowledged as a believer of a clean Kenya. You are among our key partners with whom we are planning this trans-formative process to deliver a cleaner safer Kenya as we turn 50 next year.

I was only welcoming new entrants to the scene as we continue to mobilize and rally all Kenyans to come together to deliver a better Kenya next year.

I do hope we shall meet and deliberate further during the 2nd Consultative forum to be held on the 28th August 2012 where we intend to bring on board all stakeholders to put in place practical steps towards achieving this.We must appreciate the efforts of The Public Service Transformation Department and the National Environment Management Authority-NEMA and key Ministries for supporting and driving this agenda.

You notice that The Minister for Public Health and Sanitation, Hon Beth Mugo, has already pledged practical steps to ensure this can be a reality.

This is where we are headed, practical steps, actualizing all these thoughts that have been developed over the years.

There are many discussions around separation of waste but practical steps is what is lacking, the Japanese Government through the JAICA program with City Hall begun discussions about 2 years ago, we want to bring these thoughts into play and ensure such discussions translate to implementable action on the ground.

Each one of us is a stakeholder by virtue of the fact that we generate waste either at home, work place, markets, schools etc. Let us all come together, consolidate efforts and take personal responsibility in this process.

Best,

Otieno Sungu.
