Dear Dave,

We also much appreciate the work you and your Team are doing at The Nuclear Centre in Nairobi- I hope I have it right.

Sure, we need the various raw inputs to generate the various forms of energy, and we at KCDN have started the process. We are mobilizing all the key players, all people who can add value to the Waste Revolution in Kenya.

We did pay a Courtesy Call on The Centre for Research on New and Renewable Energy and we are impressed with the wealth of Knowledge at the Centre. This wealth of knowledge must now move from Paper to Practice, and that is our point of entry as The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign.

We are looking forward to also paying a Courtesy Call on you and the Nuclear Centre to enable us share in our experiences.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change we seek’- President Barack Obama of the USA. ??A Clean, Green and Litter Less Kenya at 50 is possible and achievable.

Odhiambo,??Say hi to my Prof. F. N. Onyango who taught me Physics in my undergraduate years. Just came from Kilifi where a sisal farmer has added dairy farming. He has taken cow dung mix it with sisal liquid and bang you have a bio-digester. He currently produces enough gas (methane) to cook for himself and farm hands, produce 180 kW of electricity from 2 engines (the only item imported) and if Kilifi town plus KPLC were willing he can supply the town with electricity. This is good and hard work which make me salute you, all who you are working with…. ??We need all the energy mix possible. Now we have hydro, geothermal and diesel. Let us add biomass, nuclear, wind, solar, coal etc.??When in need of rest…good rest,,,go to Luanda where yours truly was born and look for Big Ben, Teachers, Uncle Sam or Pumzika and just remember when the rubber hits the road sparks fly. ??

Dauuu??
