The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC is happy to announce The Practical Steps that will ensure separation and recycling waste becomes a reality. These will be deliberated during the 2nd Consultative Forum on Waste Management. We are happy with the massive response we have received from various groups across the whole country who have indicated a willingness to be part of the process. While we would have wished to accommodate everybody, we must be alive to the logistical constraints. However, we still welcome written submissions; these will still add value to the whole thinking.

We will put out the final list today afternoon. We are happy that all these groups are all doing something towards cleaner environments and these are the efforts we wish to consolidate, compliment and above all, structure.

Environmental and waste management has been going on for a while but our towns and cities are becoming dirtier. It can only mean such efforts need to be re-looked at and structured.

The various groups will work out The Practical Steps that we all need to take in order to ensure success at all levels with specific timelines and commitments to the gaps that have been identified. The public sector, private sector and organized groups will be tasked to meet these gaps in ways that ensure we all create a structured approach towards the success of this initiative.

In this regard, we are happy to announce that the Public Service Transformation Department-PSTD at the Office of the Prime Minister and A Better World/SOF-DI have given  full support to this process through logistical support to organize, monitor and track progress of this initiative. The Ministry for Public Health and Sanitation has offered to spearhead the placement of waste receptacles in various pilot areas when we begin this process, committed to issue and enforce policy directions to Public Health Workers and Environment Officers, they will also provide TCKC with safety equipment such as nose masks and gloves as we continue awareness and cleanup campaigns. National Environment Management Authority-NEMA, Nairobi has committed to give technical support to TCKC and ensure enforcement of regulations.

These are the kind of Practical Steps and Commitments we are talking about, specifics which TCKC and partners can follow up on.

Within the next 3 months, immediate interventions should be in place followed by short term and long term interventions. Our goal is to ensure that as Kenya turns 50 next year, we will celebrate the Silver Jubilee in cleaner environments. This is a deliverable that we do not need to wait till 2020 to achieve; the challenges that come with such deplorable living conditions are far too great for such a wait. Diseases to not wait to afflict us later, we suffer them now, the gains we loose such as earnings from tourism and investments due to filthy towns cannot wait for some hypothetical years, we must trap those now. Our human dignity cannot wait for later years; we must ensure we live dignified lives now.

The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC wishes to thank our key partners, The Public Service Transformation Department at the OPM, A Better World/SOF-DI and strategic partner,The Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, The National Environment Management Authority-NEMA, Nairobi, the various individuals and groups who have offered us support in one way or another, we appreciate the strong belief that we can all come together and work together towards a dignified environment that we all deserve to live in. Cleaner towns and cities are possible by June 1st 2013 when we celebrate our Silver Jubilee.
