One simple act of being responsible. That was it today at about 12.34pm in Kisumu around the Bus Stand.
A Man was chewing roasted maize and when he was done, he carelessly threw the cob on to the street. A Lady majestically walked up to him and ordered him to pick his shit; yes, ordered him to pick it up and throw it where there is a dustbin or carry it home.
I was impressed. I fumbled with my camera but the drama had seized. I walked to the lady and asked her her name; Consolata Aluoch she said. And I told her how happy and proud I was of her, because, my late Mother was also called Conseleta Aluoch.
I bet this is the Kenya we want. Kisumu is changing and I must appreciate what I saw. There is some order in how the Town is being run. The CBD is very clean and the Taxis that used to congest the streets have been designated to terminate their services at some point.
This is the Kenya we want and we are really looking forward to launching The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign in Kisumu on the 16th July at 7.00am at Jubilee Market.
Kisumu is going to be simply the best. Trust me.
If it is to be, it is up to me. A Clean Kenya Starts With me. A Peaceful Kenya is my Responsibility.
