[wanabidii] Re: [KOL] Kenya- Dirty @ 50

Dear Friends and Partners.
Listen up and kindly read this.
When we launched The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign in September 2010 in Nairobi, we went against all the grain and we are happy with the success story we recorded for the 1st Circle of The Clean Kenya Campaign- TCKC.
L-R; Cllr Charles Atula- Chairman Environment Department, Ms Petronila Nafula- CCNSET, Mayor Geoffrey Majiwa- Mayor of Nairobi, Odhiambo T Oketch- TCKC and Eng Christine Ogut- Director Environment Department during the launch of Clean up Nairobi Initiative on 18th September 2010 in Eastleigh
We chose not to respond to any call for proposals and instead, opted to invite support and partnership from those who believed we were doing the right thing. And we got this beyond our imagination. Men, Women and Institutions came forward and we are happy we all jointly made The 1st Circle of The Clean Kenya Campaign a success.
We were also far more impressed by the voluntary response and participation from many Kenyans in the Towns that we visited- Nairobi, Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisii, Kisumu, Kakamega, Nyeri, Naivasha and Kiambu.
L-R; Mr. Bilafif-The Director of Environment- Municipal Council of Mombasa, Hon Amason Kingi- the Minister for Fisheries Development and Odhiambo T Oketch during the official launch of the Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign on 20th Feb 2011 at Mackinon Market in Mombasa
It was the same story everywhere we went; many people enthusiastically joining with us to help make some change. And the response from the Government and the Municipal Councils was equally great. They came with working tools and equipment besides their staff members also joining with us. The Corporates were not left behind- some donated working tools which we promptly gave to the Councils.
We must also appreciate the many political leaders who joined with us. We have noted that the Governors have energized the process and now, it is time to join up with them.
Even though The 1st Circle of The Clean Kenya Campaign was by and large a success story, we had our low moments when mercenaries on hire berated us. But we took those in our strides and soldiered on. We also had severe financial challenges to effectively run the Campaign the best way we wanted. But still, we must appreciate our Partners who ensured the work was done. We want to make special mention of The Public Service Transformation Department, Akiba Uhaki Foundation, A Better World/SOFDI, Phoenix Aviation and the many more who joined with us. You are our heroes.

We are launching The 2nd Circle of The Clean Kenya Campaign and it is going to be exciting, informative and educative. We want to roll out our experience with the 1st Campaign and work for results within 11 Months.
We want to also address those areas that did not give us structured strength. We are starting by forming an Organizing Committee that will be broad based. We will have our 1st meeting at the Nema Offices in Nairobi at Nyayo House on the 3rd Dec and the rest will follow in an organized manner.
Secondly, we are reaching out to all those who gave us support in the 1st Circle and to all new Partners so that we can structure our support and partnership for The 2nd Circle. This will help us plan for the 11 Monthly Campaigns we are going to organize for the next 11 Months.
We are motivated by the experience we have gathered from across the World. Such Campaigns are supported by a Team of Dedicated Friends who offer their Financial Support on a Structured Monthly Basis. We are hence inviting Two Categories of Structured Members;
a] Individuals
  1. Gold Members of TCKC- Those who will enroll at Kshs 2,000.00 and above per Month
  2. Silver Members of TCKC- Those who will enroll at between Kshs 1,000.00 and Kshs 1,999.00 PM
  3. Bronze Members of TCKC-  Those who will enroll at between Kshs 5,00.00 and Kshs 999.00 PM
b] Corporate and Institutions- We will reach out to these Partners and work on some Structured Partnership/
All those who would like to support us can reach us through our Barclays Bank of Kenya Mpesa Pay Bill No. 303030 payable to our Account No. 082 152 5543. Or still, you may call the under signed for details.
The 2nd Circle of The Clean Kenya Campaign will be led by;
  1. Mr. Odhiambo T Oketch- Executive Director
  2. Mr. Daniel Moi- Finance and Administration Manager,
  3. Ms Winnie Gikonyo- Project Manager- Mobilization and Registration
  4. Mr. Chris Sunday- Project Manager- Environmental Management, and
  5. Ms Anne Elizabeth Cook- Head- Strategy and Planning, and
  6. The Organizing Committee
Mmmmm. The Clean Kenya @ 50 is going to cover 11 Villages in Nairobi and it is going to be real transformative.

OTO,

People are not aware that those mounds of garbage are like a treasure. In the right hands, with the right resources, that garbage is a very valuable asset that can produce large amounts of electricity. That is an angle that I'm very interested in pursuing especially for rural regions. Towns and cities transport their garbage to some rural areas where such steam Engine power stations are located.

Mr. Courage,

For once I liked what you had written and it impressed.

After a one year period when we gave room to the Governors to settle down, we have formed an Organizing Committee that is planning Clean Kenya @ 50 with 11 Clean up Campaigns beginning January 2014 and we shall focus on 11 Villages across Nairobi.

It will be exciting, informative and educative, and at the end of the 11 Months, we shall take stock and analyse and prepare for Phase 2 the next Year.

We will draw a lot of educational support and comparative analysis from you as we move on.

Peace and blessings,

Oto

OTO,

Bring me all that garbage to West Ugenya; I want to produce electricity with it. Kisumu's garbage alone is enough to produce electricity to supply the whole of Siaya County. I don't know why no one has ever thought about such an idea in Kenya.

You guys should really arrange a trip to these places in the West and compare notes with these folks here. They are doing amazing things. These are all ideas that I have at one point or the other wriiten proposals on and given the government of Kenya. But there's always some PS who sits on the proposal and then refuses to return calls or e-mails. Bure kabisaaa !!!!

Toronto's Sewage Treatment Plants alone produce enough Natural Gas from the sewage, to produce electricity that runs all the 4 sewage plants  without any external power connection. They are self-contained with respect to electricity requirements. Nairobi's sewage alone can produce enough Natural Gas to generate electricity for 3 million homes.

In fact a girlfriend former classmate of mine went to Zimbabwe some years back and started a project there to generate electricity from  garbage. Her project was in a town of 100,000 people and the garbage generated there was enough to produce electricity for about 20,000 homes.

Kenya lacks creativity and is letting alot of valuable resources go to waste. Dandora Dump should be non-existent because all that garbage should be burned to supply electricity and the rest used as landfill and manure. Separating garbage is thus critical.

Dear Friends,
We had taken some break from The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaigns because we wanted to give the Governors time to settle.
We have given them enough time, and from January 2014, we will be rolling out a Clean-up Campaign with some difference.
We want the process to be educative and economical, and as such, we are inviting all our Partners across Kenya to roll out in partnership with the County Governments.
Kenya is hitting 50 and it is very shameful that we cannot address our waste issues. We are still stuck with shifting waste from one place to another and our Directors of Environment are proudly calling that Waste Management.
Let us roll our sleeves and make Kenya Clean.
