Friends,
Following our call for the Residents of Nairobi and Kenyans at large to come out and Register as Voters as we Clean our Country, there was a Massive Turn out at Mukuru Kwa Njenga this morning where the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Chief Executive Officer Major James Oswago flagged off the Clean-up cum Voter Registration.
Massive Turn-out of Voters at Mukuru Kwa Njenga
This is an Initiative of The Africa Youth Trust under support from the Safe and Friendly Cities for all and was organized by The Clean Kenya Campaign in partnership with the IEBC, the Provincial Administration and the City Council of Nairobi. We must also appreciate the participation of Inuka Kenya and her Networks in Nairobi and the many Groups that came out to the Clean-ups cum Voter Registration.
Major Oswago, Mr. Okwiya and Ms Kiptugen launching the Clean-up cum Voter Registration at Mukuru
The event was attended by Mr. Nahum Okwiya- the Executive Director of Africa Youth Trust, Ms Rhoda Otieno- DO at the PCs Office Nairobi, Ms Bilhah Kiptugen- IEBC Nairobi County Coordinator, Ms Tabitha Mutemi- the PR and Communications Manager at the IEBC and Mr. Walter Mongare- aka Nyambane amongst other Guests.
There were challenges with the provision of working tools from the City Council of Nairobi and this made us cancel the Clean-up Exercise in Mathare. The event went on pretty well at Kibra- again without the participation of the Council. They however came in very late at Eastleigh.
In overall, Nairobi is on track to hitting her target of 1.7m Registered Voters and we are inviting all Kenyans who have not registered as voters to take advantage of the remaining 4 days. If Nairobi gets it right, the whole Country can also get it right. We only have tomorrow, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to hit 18m plus. We can do it, so, let us do it. And as His Excellency the President Hon Mwai Kibaki recently said, you must be a very useless Kenyan who is of age but refuses to register as a voter.
This is also captured by the Rt Hon Prime Minister Raila Odinga when he says that bad leaders are elected to office by good citizens who refuse to register as voters.

The ball is in your court, and the Registration Centres are open until Tuesday the 18th December 2012. Lastly, I want to appreciate the Media for their support in helping the IEBC to hit the 18m Target. Our Media Houses have been on a roll, and they are doing very commendable work towards mobilizing Kenyans to turn out in large numbers. We need your partnership as we start the process of Voter Education.
Let us shame the devil of apathy for we are Kenyans.
