President Mwai Kibaki has taken time to attend The Olympic Games to encourage our athletes but primarily to woo investors to Kenya.
These are commendable steps from our leaders as we strive to create more job opportunities in our country. The President is encouraging investors to come to Kenya sighting the lucrative investment opportunities in Kenya, the enactment of the constitution that safeguards the rights of investors and creates strong governance structures but above all, the transformed infrastructural development that is key to business.

These efforts by the President are commendable. He is leading the country in opening up the country to investment. This is what will create the jobs our youth yearn for. Let us also encourage investment in waste management. Waste recycling has the potential to create thousands of jobs for our youth mitigating the serious unemployment we are grappling with. In the process, our country, recently ranked 4th in Africa by The MasterCard Destination Cities Index would mitigate one of the most serious challenges facing our towns and cities; waste management.
As we encourage these efforts,The Clean Kenyan Campaign-TCKC will continue working with Government Departments which are already encouraging Public Private Partnership as a way of implementing government policy but more so, creating the required traction that will spur investment.
We are happy to continue working closely particularly with The Public Service Transformation Department at the Office of The Prime Minister and The National Environment Management Authority-NEMA and other partners to to improve our cities and towns as we create opportunities in the process. This is a tranformative agenda we have embarked on towards achieving Vision 2030.
We trust that our determination to make separation, recycling and conversion of waste will soon become an investment destination in line with the offer the President is making in London.
