[kictanet] [NYSA:7509] The Cleanest Estate in Africa; Nyayo Embakasi Estate

[bitange at jambo.co.ke]

Shem,
The freedom in Kenya today is not comparable to any country in Africa.  This is all you need in life.  The rest you can do.  It is often argued that India's development amidst dirt and democracy is more sustainable than China.  Creativity thrives in freedom.  We may be dirty now but our freedom enables us to be more innovative.

Kenya ni mama yetu hata ikiwa nini.  There is no need to fancy our neighbour's mother when the responsibility to make us better lies in all of us.  Residents of Avenue Park created there own rules to make the estate clean and a better place to live in.  It is several years since they started and the place remains clean.  It all begins with one individual then the rest follow.  It is not all lost for Kenya.  We shall figure it out from a multi stakeholder point of view that when one falls a thousand are left to move us forward.

Leadership is not an individual but a collective understanding of a value system.  Africa must wake up to this reality for when we do not have that strong character in the driver's seat, we must be able to wake up, relate to one another and face the world in chorus.


Ndemo.
