Kenya: The Clean-up Campaign; Growing in strength

from odhiambo okecth

We had a fantastic response with the 6th Edition of The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign in Kisii on the 17th June 2011. Kisii responded in a manner that we have not seen in the entire campaign and it made us be convinced that Kenyans are being appreciative of this effort.

The Kisii campaign was largely funded by Green Fingers International and on behalf of KCDN and the Organizing Team, we want to extend our appreciation to Ms Janet Ongera for, besides supporting the Kisii Campaign, she was personally involved in the trenches. She becomes our first female General; Gen Janet Ongera.

She joins other active participants; Gen Kombo, Gen Majiwa, Gen Kingi, Gen Ruto and now…..Gen Ongera.

I also want to sincerely appreciate the support we received all the way from Minesota in the USA from Ms Lillian Mogendi. She had pledged to support us with the Kisii Campaign and she lived true to her pledge.

We also want to sincerely thank Nakumatt Holdings for once more stepping in to support the Clean-up Campaign. Mr. Atul. Mr. Nyaga, Mr. Gitonga and the entire Nakumatt Crew, we say thank you.

We also want to appreciate all the other Institutions and Business Corporates who joined us. We will give the complete list tomorrow detailing how you came in. Thank you all.

The Kisii Campaign could not have been possible without the tacit and active support from the University and College Students from the various institutions of higher learning, Wakenya Pamoja Sacco Society Ltd, the Provincial Administration led by Chief Richard Magaki of KisiiTownship Location, the County Council of Gusii led by Chairman Kennedy Nyakundi and the Municipal Council of Kisii led my Mayor Samuel Nyangeso.

We also want to appreciate the Councilors who attended the event led by our two very able overseers to the Kisii Organizing Team Cllr Joyce Isaack and Cllr Hesbon Michira. Cllr Michira was also the MC for the day besides having been the Secretary to the Organizing Team. Cllr Isaac is the Chair to the Environment Department at the Council. We also had Cllrs Sylvestre Mogire, Bernerd Makori and Julius Omanyi in attendance.

We also want to salute Mr. Johnson Juma of Gusii Institute and his team for the fantastic work they did; Rose, Rogers, Mageka, Matoke, Charles and the entire team. You were equal to the task and you made us proud.

I must also salute the KCDN Crew that I travelled with; Janet Ongera, Flo Kanyua, Violette Wambua and Jack Ouma. You maintainted the KCDN Flag high.

Lastly, the Kisii Campaign was the best we have had. We thought Eldoret was the best but we were wrong. His Worship the Mayor of Kisumu has promised that Kisumu will be hot and lively. We are getting similar promises from Western Kenya, Central Province, Eastern Province, North Eastern and Coast Provinces.

At KCDN, we are simply humbled by the enthusiasm and hospitality Kenyans are according us in the Clean-up Campaign. Let us join hands and help clean Kenya.

If it is to be, it is up to me. A Clean Kenya Starts With me. A Peaceful Kenya is my Responsibility.

Peace and blessings,
