Friends,
Cancer has robbed us of yet another distinguished son of the Soil.
As most of us woke up this morning, Mr. David Nalo- the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of East African Community, had made peace with his maker and therein he was resting, for he left us at about 2.00am.
May the good Lord rest his soul in eternal peace.
With this said, I want to believe that it is time we addressed the state of our Health Care as a Nation. Cancer has become one of the major grim reaper in our times. All the mighty, men and women of means, those who have the protection of the Gun and of immense financial resources, have found in Cancer a major opponent.
Many are our gallant sons and daughters who have lost this battle with cancer and sadly, we have no capacity to help them. A very painful exercise indeed.
Garbage at every corner you turn
Kenya will be celebrating 50 Years of our Independence next year, and one major cause of Cancer all over the world is dirt, garbage and waste. We all know that in Kenya, we are eating some foods whose root sources lead us to garbage and waste sites.This is a sad reality killing many Kenyans quietly.
Recently, the mass media brought to our sitting rooms cabbage being grown in sewer, and these form the sumptuous meals that we hog in our homes and in the 3 Star Hotels in Kenya.
As we mourn David, I want to challenge Kenyans to follow their trash. Where does your waste go? You may think that you are well off in your neighbourhood by dumping all your waste to the less affluent areas. The question is, does this waste find its way back to your body?Back to your food?
In many instances, we all buy our groceries and foodstuffs from the markets. And look at the current state of our Markets?
All the Hotels buy their foodstuffs from these dirty havens and we all bury our heads in the sand and pretend that all is well. All the big shots eat at these 5 Star Hotels whose daily provisions are sourced from our dirty and dilapidated markets.
This is why The Clean Kenya Campaign, working in partnership with the Nairobi Market Traders Society, the City Council of Nairobi, the Provincial Administration, and any other willing partners, will be cleaning all the 53 Markets in Nairobi on the 10th October 2012 as from 7.00am to 10.00am in an operation dubbed Massive Market Shut Down in Nairobi.
Garbage does not even respect the Corporates
If you believe that we can help make change happen in Kenya, and in paying tribute to Mr. David Nalo, let us all join hands and work for a Clean Kenya. And a Clean Kenya starts with the Markets where we all source our FOODS.
May the good Lord rest the soul of Mr. David Nalo in eternal peace, and may He give us the knowledge to advance in sciences that can arrest Cancer as a major grim reaper.
