Friends, We will be celebrating our 50 Years of Independence next year, precisely on the 1st June 2013. Again, we will be going for the General Elections on the 4th March 2013. This means, next year will be really loaded for Kenyans. Now, The Clean Kenya Campaign has been in discussions with several University Student Leaders from across several Universities in Kenya, and on the 2nd January 2013, we will be rolling out; University Students for a Clean Kenya.  The Kenya we want
This is going to be exciting and no University Student will want to miss out, for, the Universities have for a long time been the fountain of knowledge for the society and the Kenyan University Students will be show-casing leadership by being role models to the young and up-coming as well as to those who never made it to the University. The University Students will be joining with us in The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaigns across Kenya and immediately thereafter, engage the people on three clear issues; 1. Environmental Management- where issues of safer waste disposal, use and conversion will be discussed. We all know that waste is wealth, but we have been doing nothing to actualize this. The Students of Environment and Planning will take turns to discuss this with the people. It will be an interesting affair and you will not want to miss out. 2. Peace Building- We all know how emotive our Elections are. And next year will be no exception. The Students will be joining with us to in the Kura Kwa Furaha Campaign. We want Kenyans to vote peacefully and vote for the best candidate. The best candidate will be one that shows that he has clear grasp of the issues bedeviling our Nation and he will have a clear path towards solving the same. We will be inviting Kenyans not to vote for money, tribe, religion, race and impunity. This will be another sure milestone and the University Students are going to be in their element. 3. Good Governance- We are where we are basically because of governance issues. 50 Years in to our Independence is such a long time. There are lots of developmental issues we could have achieved by now. We will hence be creating a discussion on issues of Governance with a view to making improvements. The Politicians have been talking to us all along. Can we reverse this and talk to them now about our aspirations as a Country. It is becoming clear that they have failed to offer sound leadership to Kenya and I bet it is time we reclaimed our Country from the Politicians. These are some of the gains we will be building on as we mobilize Kenyans to join with us in The Clean Kenya Campaign. Let us all work for a Clean Kenya as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50.
Odhiambo T Oketch,
Executive Director, The Clean Kenya Campaign is an Initiative of The KCDN Kenya.

Friends of A Clean Kenya,
We are moving well with the issue of proper waste management. Two Consultative Strategic Planning Sessions at the Ministry
of Environment and Mineral Resources between the Government and Community Based Organizations handling Waste and Garbage have taken place.The meetings have been co-chaired by Mr. FN Kihumba on behalf of the PS and Mr. Titus Simiyu- the Provincial Director of Environment.
In one of the meetings, Ms Judy Karume- The Environment Manager at Tetra Pak Eastern Africa took the groups through a recycling process for Tetra Pak packaging waste. This will be piloted within Nairobi in due course.
NEMA is also taking the cue very well, garbage collectors will be required to issue clients with four dustbins or plastic paper bags of different colours to empty their waste materials. The colour of the container will be the determinant of where to put the waste. Green container will take care of kitchen wastes (organic matters), white will be for recycling materials such as polythene papers, blue will be for industrial wastes such as computer while black is expected to carry the general waste.The move is expected to influence a positive change of attitude and behavior towards the environment.
Read more about this in the latest Relect issue 71, the article about NEMA plans to make Nairobi and its environs cleaner.
The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC is happy that what we have been advocating and agitating for is finally becoming policy. seperation and recyling waste as a proper way to manage waste.This is the surest way to reduce the waste menace in our neighborhoods.
We appreciate all partners who are making this happen, those who have supported our cleanups across counties, sensitization and awareness campaigns, particularly A Better World/SOF-DI and Akiba Uhaki Foundation, the media houses who have taken this up, the various groups across counties engaged in The Clean Kenya Campaign, colleges/universities who are leading various awareness campaigns, the various Ministries, Municipal and Town Councils.
Together, we can achieve a clean Kenya as Kenya turns 50 years next year.
Otieno Sungu, The Clean Kenya Campaign-TCKC 0729294743.
