Jagem,
I really appreciate you last sentences; If Kenyans can get this, then, we can do it.
The rest are challenges we must stand to, and the good thing is, Chapter 4 of our Constitution and the Bible are on our side.

OTO,
Do you mean to say that these Swedish no longer go for number two? I mean, don't they eat? And if they do, have their bodies metamorphosized to a point they do not discharge fecal matter? And if at all they do, then how can they run out of waste? Or did you mean the plastic and paper waste? If this is correct then you have to look at what is the possible cause for their low waste paper production.
Sweden is a developed Country with a population of less than ten Million. They have for decades worked towards a better environment. This made their Government to put lots of emphasis on waste management. Now, with their Cities having populations of 1 million and below, it is easy to manage the waste produced.
In contrast, Kenya is a developing Country with a very large population. It has Cities with populations of above 1million inhabitants. Nairobi, as compared to Malmo have a busting population of close to 5million, about half of entire Sweded. Malmo has a clear structured waste management policies while Nairobi City has no policy at all on this. In addition its City hall is infested with Vultures whose main job is to loot the City exchequer. These Vultures have several briefcase looters on their wings just to fleece the City.
How then can one achieve what Sweded has achieved? The Answer is: it starts with an individual to see the sense in making that City clean. That sense, if it can miraculously get into Kenyan's heads, then Kenya will also move towards that direction. Bure it will be waste of time. Au siyoo

Communication from Mr. Otieno Sungu- Director- Programmes and Communication at The Clean Kenya Campaign
Friends, There is also a Town in China that imports waste from a neighbouring Town. These are just but examples to show-case that waste can never be an issue the way we are making it look. Today in the morning, officials of Pumwani Youth Groups Networks- PYGRON, paid a Courtesy Call on us at our offices. The Team was led by their Chairman Mr. Ramadhan Maingi, Secretary Mr. Steven Singano, Mr. Superior Mudaala from the St John's Community Centre and Mr. George Otieno from Angola- an affiliate member of PYGRON. The TCKC Team comprised of Odhiambo T Oketch and Otieno Sungu. We are looking at how to show-case Sofia Area in Pumwani as a waste free area by engaging in Practical Steps that would make this a reality. When we first hosted a Clean-up Campaign at Sofia in July 2012, we realized that the residents were not as enthusiastic as they were this time around on the 27th Oct 2012. Many Mothers came out on their own to help clean their immediate neighbourhoods and it was encouraging. We now want to move a step forward and introduce a Training Programme at Pumwani on the 15th Nov 2012 focusing on Waste, Waste Management and the Conversion Processes. We will be inviting the residents to isolate all milk packaging materials and all the plastics and flimsy papers. In partnership with the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, Tetra Pak Eastern Africa and EcoPost, we will reclaim these three items from the waste stream in Sofia area. Again, we are inviting the cement manufacturers to also join with us and donate cement that will help us pave the whole area of Sofia. We will plant Trees in the area and each household will take personal responsibility to ensure success of the Programme. Lastly, the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation had promised us waste Receptacles. We will be following this with them to ensure that Sofia Area becomes the first beneficiary of this programme. All this needs discipline and leadership. And we are happy that PYGRON and her affiliate members are showing this. It all means, a Clean Sofia is Possible. Let us all work for a Clean Kenya and a Clean Africa as a Transformative Deliverable as we turn 50 in Kenya.
