Lillian,
If you and the Green Belt Movement were assaulted protecting the grabbing of the only Play Ground in Uhuru Estate today, then, we must as a people mobilize the residents of Nairobi to turn out in large numbers to help protect this said Play Ground.
On behalf of The Clean Kenya Campaign, I want to strongly condemn the grabbing of this Play Ground in Uhuru Estate.
We will liaise with you at The Green Belt Movement and help organize the residents of Uhuru Estate and all well wishers into a massive show of might. We must reclaim this Play Ground for the good of our Children and posterity.
And the spirits of Prof Wangari Maathai and Hon John N Michuki, will be with us all through.
Odhiambo T Oketch,
Executive Director,

Okecth, cleaning up is very important. But we cannot allow some councillors to take all the green parks in the cities. There is no city without green park. Today, GBM staffs and the members of Uhuru Estate we beaten up by a group of youth hired by somebody as they tried to protect the only play ground at uhuru Estate and we no we have protected this park from early 90s, when the late prof. maatahi was arrive. Where are we heading to? The councillors must be told that the dark days are way gone. We cannot allow this to happen? Thanks Ltm

Friends,
The Month of June 2012 was enterprising, busy and it gave us the best grounding for The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC.
We had lots of Board Room meetings with Strategic Partners and we are moving well with the Consultations that we had initiated.
In Partnership with the National Environment Management Authority, the City Council of Nairobi, the Provincial Administration and other Partners, we hosted a very successful World Environment Day Clean-up Campaign along both Jogoo and Landhies Roads on the 5th June 2012 to mark the World Environment Day.
This was attended by the Provincial Director of Environment Nairobi, Senior Managers from the City Council of Nairobi and the Provincial Administration. The climax of the day was an Exhibition on Green Energy at the Star of Hope Primary School in Industrial Area that was graced by the PC Nairobi Mr. Njoroge Ndirangu.
Again on the 23rd June 2012, to mark the 3rd Saturday of the Month, the Zetech Group of Colleges led about 300 students from their 5 Town Compasses in the months Clean-up Campaign that targeted Haile Sellassie Avenue, Moi Avenue, Harambee Avenue, Tom Mboya Street and parts of River Road in a process that was so successful. The City Council of Nairobi were at hand with working tools and their ever hard working staffers as usual.
In between these engagements, we had several planning sessions with the City Council of Nairobi, the National Environment Management Authority, the Public Service Transformation Department and several other partners to enable us host a Consultative Forum on Waste Management in Nairobi at Charter Hall on the 11th of July 2012.
This will be a Forum with a difference. We want to come out with actionable resolutions that will help us initiate a Pilot Process on Separation of Waste at Source in Nairobi from 1st August and in Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret and Nyeri from 1st September 2012.
The Forum will be addressed by the 5 Town Clerks in the Presence of our Guests. We will let you know who our Guests of Honours for this Forum will be. If you have some added value to the process, you are invited to attend and share in your thinking.
As we start the Month of July, and knowing the kind of challenges we have ahead of us, we want to pray that we remain equal to the task as we share with Kenyans the need to enjoin all our efforts in making Kenya Clean.
We want to sincerely thank the following Friends of TCKC who in their various ways made our Campaigns possible for the Month of June;
