Universities joining in The Clean Kenya Campaign

Friends,                                                                                                                                                                                         We will be celebrating our 50 Years of Independence next year, precisely on the 1^st June 2013. Again, we will be going for the General Elections on the 4^th March 2013. This means, next year will be really loaded for Kenyans.                                                                                                                                        Now, The Clean Kenya Campaign has been in discussions with several University Student Leaders from across several Universities in Kenya, and on the 2^nd January 2013, we will be rolling out; University Students for a Clean Kenya.    

The Kenya we want

This is going to be exciting and no University Student will want to miss out, for, the Universities have for a long time been the fountain of knowledge for the society and the Kenyan University Students will be show-casing leadership by being role models to the young and up-coming as well as to those who never made it to the University.        The University Students will be joining with us in The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaigns across Kenya and immediately thereafter, engage the people on three clear issues;

1.       Environmental Management- where issues of safer waste disposal, use and conversion will be discussed. We all know that waste is wealth, but we have been doing nothing to actualize this. The Students of Environment and Planning will take turns to discuss this with the people. It will be an interesting affair and you will not want to miss out.

2.       Peace Building- We all know how emotive our Elections are. And next year will be no exception. The Students will be joining with us to in the Kura Kwa Furaha Campaign. We want Kenyans to vote peacefully and vote for the best candidate. The best candidate will be one that shows that he has clear grasp of the issues bedeviling our Nation and he will have a clear path towards solving the same. We will be inviting Kenyans not to vote for money, tribe, religion, race and impunity. This will be another sure milestone and the University Students are going to be in their element.

3.       Good Governance- We are where we are basically because of governance issues. 50 Years in to our Independence is such a long time. There are lots of developmental issues we could have achieved by now. We will hence be creating a discussion on issues of Governance with a view to making improvements. The Politicians have been talking to us all along. Can we reverse this and talk to them now about our aspirations as a Country. It is becoming clear that they have failed to offer sound leadership to Kenya and I bet it is time we reclaimed our Country from the Politicians.

      These are some of the gains we will be building on as we mobilize Kenyans to join with us in The Clean Kenya Campaign.
