Friends,
Due to the incessant flare-ups in Mathare in Nairobi, and after due consultation with the Provincial Commissioner Nairobi Mr. Njoroge Ndirangu, we will host the Mathare Human Peace Caravan on the 19th January 2013 as from 8.00am.
All the residents of Mathare Area are invited to this procession. It will be led by the PC himself and the Apostolic Bishop of the Redeemed Gospel Church Dr Arthur Kitonga. All Religious and Political leaders who believe in Peace are invited.
A planning session this morning at Kariobangi for the Kasarani Clean-up Campaign coming up on the 16th January 2013
The Human Caravan will be led by the Redeemed Gospel Church Choir and we have also made invitation to the Administration Police Band to join with us as their contribution to Peace Building in Kenya.
The Procession will start out side the Redeemed Gospel Church, move into Mathare, traversing all the hot spots and end up at the Huruma Sports Ground where we will all join in song and dance and speeches from leaders present.
We must all join hands with our Brothers and Sisters in Mathare, and indeed all the hotspots across Kenya, and invite them to all live as One Family under God. There will be absolutely NO political campaigns during this day and we are inviting all the politicians who will join with us to respect this wish.
Secondly, the Kenyans for a Clean General Election Campaign moves to Langata Constituency tomorrow. We will host a Clean-up cum Voter Education Campaign at the Undugu Society Hall. The Clean-up will be flagged off by the Laini Saba DO Mr. Hesbon Kayesi and the IEBC Nairobi Regional Coordinator Ms Bilhah Kiptugen at Highrise outside the DO's Office at 7.00am. We will then move along the road and end at Undugu Society Ground where leaders present will advance the need for a Peaceful and Clean Electioneering period and a Peaceful and Clean General Election.
