Friends,
To help us realize a Clean Kenya, there is a lot of work to be done.
We must mobilize, sensitize, meet with people, Partners, move around, agitate, and be diplomatic all at the same time. And at times, we must make noise.
The question of waste and garbage thrown by the road sides and at every corner and turn is an all too familiar sight in Kenya, across all our Towns.
As we approach 50 years of our Independence, we are inviting Kenyans to own The Clean Kenya Campaign and help make Kenya Clean. It is with this in mind that today, in the company of Otieno Sungu and Liz Wanza, we met with Mr. Philip Gitao of SAI LLC and later with Ms Joan Kimani and George Kariuki of the National Environment Trust Fund.
Odhiambo T Oketch presenting Ms Joan Kimani- the Communications and Awards Manager at Netfund with their Certificate of Participation, for having participated during The 2nd Consultative Forum on Waste Management at the KICC on the 28th Aug 2012. Looking on is Otieno Sungu
The two meetings were very strategic and we will be filling you with details on what we want to drive in partnership.
On the 28th August 2012, we did host The 2nd Consultative Forum on Waste Management at the KICC and we come out with 4 Key Resolutions. We have reached out to potential Partners to help form the 1st Tier and all the other 3 Resolutions are on track.
We do not want to Forum and then keep the Resolutions thereat reached to shelves to gather dust. We want to move in a strategic manner, and in Partnership with our Partners to implement. We had resolved that we want to do something for Mother Kenya as a people. Let the Government do her part and help foster the enabling environment and we shall do the rest.
This is what JKF asked of the Americans; ask not what the Government can do for you. Instead, seek ye what ye can do for the Government.
On the 18th September 2012, we will be launching The Clean Kenya Campaign Cleanliness Competition and we will be inviting entries from our Towns and Cities, from our Estates, from the Schools and Colleges, and from the Markets.
We will then show case what we can achieve as a Country and as a People on the 6th December 2012 when we shall appreciate the Best Practices from the above mentioned groups. We will do this during The Review Forum which we will host at the KICC in a major Forum never seen before in Kenya.
On 1st November 2012, we will roll out a Training Programme targeting all those who might want to use waste as a Resource. This will be a one week Training Session on simple techniques on how to turn waste into Fuel for cooking. This Initiative is going to save our Trees and in the process, help us recover the lost Tree Cover fairly fast. The Fuel Briquettes can burn for between 3 to 4 hours and this will be a major employment creation opportunity for our people.
Lastly, I want to continue saluting the many Kenyans who have continued to support the efforts of The Clean Kenya Campaign. And I want to salute the Public Service Transformation Department at the OPM, A Better World/SOF-DI, Akiba Uhaki Foundation and Mugumo Communications for their continued support to this Great Transformation.
Please stay tuned and join us in this Journey of Hope across Kenya.
