Welcome to KCDN

This is KCDN, an Environmental Management, Economic Empowerment and Poverty Eradication Civil Society.

We welcome you to our site. Kindly feel free to share with us your thoughts. Ideas that add value will be appreciated. Ideas that want to make us improve our physical environment will be welcome. And more so, ideas that redirect us from the lost cause will be of immense value.

It is us who will improve the lot of our Environment, our Economy and make Kenya a Clean Country, where People join hands to work for our own Economic Emancipation and where Municipal Solid Waste Management is looked at as a resource, not as waste.

We need to set the standards in this region of the World and become the referral point in how a people can join hands and work for their own Economic Liberation, where waste can be used as raw material and become a source of employment for our people.

Our collective actions will surely make a difference. This is why in partnership with our Key Strategic Partners- The Public Service Transformation Department, the National Environment Management Authority, the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation,other key Ministries, the Local Authorities in Kenya, the Provincial Administration, A Better World, Akiba Uhaki Foundation and other Partners, we are moving deliberately in sensitizing and mobilizing Kenyans to work towards A Clean Kenya where waste is separated at source.

And this is why we are inviting Kenyans to join with us in The Clean Kenya Campaign and be a Member of Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd

Welcome.

Listen to Prof Martin Ayim

Friends,
Please take your time and listen to Prof Martin Ayim in this Interview on AFRICA 24:  http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xtegbv_decryptage-martin-ayim-cameroun_news  
Prof.  Martin Ayim   Ph.D., MPH, MCHES is an Endowed Professor of Health Education, Grambling State University, Louisiana, USA and we are happy that he is doing something to help bring change to Africa through the Comprehensive School Health Education.
With this said,I watched one Francis Atwoli on TV yesterday and I was shocked.
Mr. Atwoli is the Secretary General of the Central Organization of Trade Unions in Kenya- COTU, and a Board Member at the National Hospital Insurance Fund. He was banging tables, swinging on his chair and exchanging Hi-5 with some colleague and then issuing threats to the Minister for Medical Services Prof Anyang' Nyong'o.
Honestly, is this how serious issues are addressed? Mr. Atwoli earns Kshs 2.4m every Month and he can afford Health Care of his choice, and here he is trumping on what Prof Nyong'o and the NHIF is doing to make Health Care accessible to all in a manner that betrays the fact that he has an issue to pick with Hon Prof Nyong'o, and not the Health Care Scheme as such.
As one who sits in the NHIF Board, Mr. Atwoli should be able to articulate his ideas and issues at the Board level where his knowledge or lack of the same can be put to the iron curb of reasoning.
Instead, he chooses to call a one man press conference where he compromises his ways to get Prime Time News coverage frothing in the mouth and deriding over an idea whose time has come.
We need the Health Care Scheme Prof Nyong'o is fronting at the NHIF. We also need prudent management of the Scheme as well. But these are serious issues that Mr. Atwoli must not play with to the public gallery. If he wants to leave the NHIF Board, we at The Clean Kenya Campaign are more than ready to step in and we promise, we will not sleep during Board Meetings, and we will articulate issues that are of immense importance to the National Health Care Scheme.
Mr. Atwoli must not be used by forces of impunity to fight the Hon Minister on such an important National Issue. Kenyans need this Scheme for it is affordable. The Atwolis of this world have enough money to jump off to seek medical attention whenever he so desires at the time he needs it.
What about the people he pretends to fight for? They need this NHIF Scheme more than Atwoli needs it.
Mr. Atwoli must stop playing with our intelligence. We are not fools and he cannot manipulate our thinking. Let him seek Prof Nyong'o out and the two of them can sort their issues off the TVs.
Let us all work for a Clean Kenya and a Clean Africa as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50 in Kenya.
