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.

We cannot live like this......in Nairobi

Dear Friends,
We cannot live like this in Nairobi.
Just look at the following pictures, I took them this morning, and they are presenting to us the sad scenarios we are living with in Nairobi- 50 Years into our Independence. Nairobi is this dirty at a time many people are jostling for political leadership in Kenya.
This is Muthurwa Bus and Matatu Terminus in Nairobi
We must hold each and every leader to account and demand to know what they did while in office to help address this deplorable situation. And what they intend to do to address this sad scenario. Waste is a huge raw resource and it can create plenty of employment opportunities for many people and help place bread on the table, pay school fee for the children, help pay medical bills and help pay for our rents. But no one cares.
The Political Leaders do not care, and those employed to manage our waste have no clue about Waste Management.
We at The Clean Kenya Campaign will bring you these images daily until the Political Leadership and the Directors of Environment wake up from their slumber.
Many of our Towns are in such a mess, yet, we have complete Departments of Environment with people who are pretending to be Environmentalists. I want to believe that we are being taken for a ride. Waste and Garbage is such a huge resource when well managed. What many of our Directors of Environment are doing is to shift waste from one point to the next. That has NEVER been Waste Management and it will NEVER be Waste Management. Shifting Waste from one point to another does not need going to school. It only needs a shovel. And ALL of us can use shovels.
In Nairobi, we have a sad scenario where the Department of Environment has contracted 20 Private Garbage Collection Trucks at a monthly cost of Kshs 40 Million, yet, no waste nor garbage is being collected and shifted to the right disposal area.
This is off Landhies Road as you drive into Nairobi CBD
50 Years into our Independence, we still have not adopted the process of Separation of Waste at Source as a Waste Management Tool. Yet, the mandarins running these Departments are busy reading Newspapers in their offices and moving from Conference to Conference. This is not acceptable.
As we campaign for our next set of Political Leaders, let us hold each and every leader to account. We do not want theories and rhetorics. We want action. Lastly, as you view these photos, kindly join with us tomorrow at 8.00am for The Dandora Human Peace Caravan, courtesy of Freedom House, World Vision Kenya, the IEBC, the Provincial Administration and other Partners.
Let us all work for a Clean Kenya, a Clean Africa and a Clean General Election as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50 in Kenya.
