I would like to share some unforgettable moments with you as Adopt A Light is recognized as a ” best practice” for innovative cities alongside Kenya’s own Safaricom Mpesa. This is a proud moment to be Kenyan.
Kenya scooped two UN Habitat Business Awards 2009 awards out of five awards while the other three went to Mexico, China and India. Today we should affirm that we are all right in spite of everything that has passed and rather than waste our energy on those things that pull us down, lets celebrate each other and move forward together!

The main issues that you have highlighted are the very issues that are swept beneath the carpet.
The long trails in the 40 plus years of Independence, urge us to take an honest look over our shoulders and ask in what direction are we heading…The driver behind the wheel driving Kenya forward is prompted to wake up to the realities. Mere words in speech is likened to empty plates on the table.You are creating the awareness in every expressed truth, most sincere and sound in all voiced.

We have had too many empty promises. Every acceptance speech has always filled people with hope but then, it is discarded in a dust beenor placed in a drawer to gather dust. Oh Oh, who will save us!

Poverty can be eradicated if we as Kenyans help in eradicating it, our leaders; churches and institutions that we look upon will never do everything for us…n there will be no angel who will ever eradicate it for us…all we need to do is to remain honest n do our part like CDF cash can do a lot in our constituency if only those in charge remain key word “honest”.
