Dear Friends,
The week has been very active and busy with us at The Clean Kenya Campaign.
After having an extensive tour last week in Western Kenya, in the process paying a Courtesy Call on the Town Clerk at the Municipal Council of Kakamega, meeting the student Leaders at both Masinde Muliro University and at Maseno Unviversity, and then visiting the SOF-DI Projects in Western Kenya in the company of Ms Brigitte Frey, we started this week on a hign.
The African Nazarene University; A Clean Place
On the 7th Nov 2012, I was at the University of Nairobi at the Chiromo Campus where I was invited to address the students of Environment, Biology and Micro- Biaolgy in a Pre-Summit Forum for the World Students Summit for Sustainability. Ms Gladys Njeri, a 4th Year Environment Student at Kenyatta University set the tempo for the meeting before inviting me to address the students.
My address was on waste and waste management and the opportunities waste offer to us as a country and a people. I also talked on the three Pillars that drive The Clean Kenya Campaign namely; Environmental Management, Peace Building and Good Governance.
Lastly, I talked about the University Students for a Clean Kenya and invited the students to join us in this Forum and help us fight against money, greed, tribe and impunity being the key determinants to leadership. The Pre-Summit was also addressed by Mr. Jacob Orina from Transparency International Kenya.
Then on the 8th November 2012, in Partnership with Pygron and St John's Community Centre, we hosted a Pre-Clean-up Forum with the residents of Sofia in Pumwani Majengo at the St John's Community Centre where we discussed why we need to join hands in cleaning our neighbourhoods. We made it clear that the Clean-ups must remain non-political across all Kenya and greater mobilization and awareness creation ought to be supported.
Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology in Juja Kenya
We will be joining hands in cleaning Sofia on the 17th November 2012 in our last Clean-up for the Year and all are invited. The meeting was also attended by officials from the City Council of Nairobi led by the Ward Manager Ms Mary Wamuyu.
Thereafter, we made a Courtesy Call on the Manager Christian Industrial Training Centre Mr. Ephantus Mwangi. He was so appreciative of The Clean Kenya Campaign Initiative and promised their support and participation from now henceforth. He was joined in this meeting by Mr. Naboth Odinga and Mr. Willy Musau while I was accompanied by Mr. Stephen Singano of Pygron.
Later in the day, I had the pleasure of holding discussions with Mr. and Mrs Copple, Ms Cassie Bixler and Ms Whitney, where we zeroed in on what we must all do as a people to work for a Clean Kenya. The effect of this meeting will be felt shortly.
Lastly, I was at the Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology where I had been invited to engage the students. It was very encouraging for me to here from the students that they are in the process of making their own Litter Bins, and I want to believe that this is a great initiative worth supporting.
Ms Munyo and Oto with a section of the Engieering Students at JKUAT yesterday the 8th Nov 2012
The meeting was facilitated by Ms Maryanne Munyao from the AISEC JKUAT and the Society of Engineering Students at JKUAT. It was nice engaging the students and I came out more stronger that indeed, a Clean Kenya at 50 is going to be possible.
On the 17th November 2012, let us join hands and help make a difference at Sofia in Majengo.
