Haron,</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>Yes the 'Umuganda' are a unique, great thing. But for such to have the kind of impact experienced in Rwanda, the top leadership must be truly on the driving seat. I personally experienced and heard of many good hands-on things President Kagame (my today's Africa's role model President) does.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Apart from Umuganda, Rwanda to the best of my knowledge remains the only country in the world where non-biodegradable polythene bags are outlawed, and strictly enforced. Rwanda has many 'firsts' we could all learn from - place where rule of law is honoured, zero-tolerance to corruption, techno-savvy, people-centred (as opposed to political elite-centred), only world country with more female than male MPs, some of the best
maintained city/countryside roads (at least they were 4 years ago when I left), very likely Africa's safest city, and possibly cleanest city, Africa's no doubt only major Internet-ready city (you can access broadband wireless Internet literally from any part of the city/Kigali), etc.</span></div><div><br><span></span></div><div><span>The only reason: Rwanda has visionary, selfless, servant leadership which Kenya sorely lacks. Isn't this reason enough for us to replace all those pretenders we call 'leaders' in Kenya? PNU/ODM IS THE PROBLEM, G47+1 IS THE ANSWER!</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Rgrds,</span></div><div><span>Shem</span></div><div> </div><div>Shem J.

Mr. Oketch,<br><br>We all agree Kenya needs direction in garbage collection and disposal. We laud the efforts of a few Kenyans that have kept sections of towns, estates and homesteads tidy & clean. Given your passion & vocation on the matter would you work with estate welfare association like Komarock etc to harmonise the disparity between the likes of Nyayo Estate & Mathare for example?<br><br>I am certain the is goodwill but many need to be reminded that cleanliness is next to Godliness. And that they might be in a ghetto but maintain cleanliness, hygiene, plant flowers, dig trenches to ease drainage flow etc.<br><br>I appreciate the efforts of your organisation and welcome you to our offices so as to redo your we site at no charge. Your work speaks for itself and you require a customised website that will celebrate & better showcase that.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Lunani Joseph<br><br>www.in-synque.com<br><br><br><br><div><hr

the PC Nairobi and The Consultative Team will be visiting Nyayo Embakasi
Estate on the 13th October 2011 as a Best Practice for Kenyans, he told
me; '<b><font color="#0000ff">Welcome to the Cleanest Estate in East and Central Africa</font></b>.' Mr. Njeru is the Estate Supervisor and he works with his colleagues Peter and Ann.<br>
<br>I laughed and dismissed him as a typical bragging Kenyan.<br><div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="yiv531430038ecxyiv148555895separator"><a rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ycyFhg5hhUs/ToMzKpD76vI/AAAAAAAAAfA/Chajgmj_UdY/s1600/PICT1991.JPG"><img style="" width="320" border="0" height="240">Outside the Kiragu & Mwangi Limited offices</a></div>Today,
after briefing the DC Embakasi Mr. Peter Mbugi, I went to Nyayo
Embakasi Estate. My, this is the Cleanest Estate in Africa, not just
East and Central Africa. And I want to challenge anybody who thinks
otherwise to let us know.<br>The Estate is managed by Kiragu $ Mwangi
Limited- registered valuers and property managers. The Estate is one of
the Flagships of the National Social Security Fund- NSSF and Phase one
of the Estate was built in 1999, the same time Buru Buru Phase 5 was
being built.<br><div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="yiv531430038ecxyiv148555895separator"><a rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z9wfpnacFto/ToMz5O2RQOI/AAAAAAAAAfI/OWQDOsYoCN8/s1600/PICT1993.JPG"><img style="" width="320" border="0" height="240">Just look at this....<br>
</a></div>The Managers had a very clear vision and focused management
style from the word go. They decided that they wanted to bring Muthaiga
to Embakasi and that is what they have done. They have worked as a team
with the Residents and this has seen clear decisions being made on the 4
key areas namely;<br><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>Garbage Collection</li><li>Estate Cleaning</li><li>Gardening and Tree Planting and</li><li>Estate Security.</li></ol>It is important to note that this is one area where even the Police confirm, there are no muggings and no theft. <br>The
Residents in Partnership with the Management ensures that water flows,
street lights are working, and services for which they are paying are
provided. And the key words here is <b><font color="#0000ff">Team Work</font></b>.<br>As
at now, Nyayo Embakasi Estate has 2,505 units and a further 688 units
will be commissioned within 3 Months. This makes Nyayo Embakasi Estate
the 2nd largest Estate in Africa after one in Natal Province of South
Africa.<br>At optimum level next year, the Estate will boast of 4,774 units.<br>If
this is note a Best Practice, then I do not know what that should be.
And we at The Monthly Nationwide Clean-up Campaign are truly happy to
pay a visit to this Estate that is the Cleanest in Africa on the 13th
October 2011.<br>In the same vein, we are inviting Kenyans, if Nyayo Embakasi Estate can do it, we can also do it wherever we are. <br>Congratulations and you take the Trophy hands down.<br>We at KCDN firmly believe that we the <b><font color="#0000bf">People of <font class="yiv531430038ecxyiv148555895yshortcuts">Kenya</font></font></b> can help Clean Kenya.<br>This is a campaign for Kenya by Kenyans.
