The Future: An opportunity for those who want to own Land in N...
An opportunity for those who want to own Land in Nairobi and build their dream home
Owning that Piece of Land in the Nairobi Suburbs Made Easier
Many people in Kenya want to own land and build their own house at some time in life. This ambition is even harder if you live in Nairobi and the escalating land prices perpetuated by the growth of the city dont make it easy. This has been made easier under a scheme where a group of ambitious savers bring their money together and buy a large track of land and decide how they would like to develop it.
The Green Teams in partnership with other partners has began the scheme to support young people in the middle income category to buy land and develop a gated community where they will put their dream houses over time. To join the scheme one has to put in a Registration Fee and follow due procedures set forth to make this dream a reality. Already over 300 individuals have been beneficiaries of pieces of land in Kitengela area of the Olkejuado County Council whose savings started in 2008.
For a Contribution of Kshs. 6000 per month over a period of 24 months one becomes an owner of a quarter an acre plot in areas around Kitengela.We are running the second series and are looking for the first 100 individuals to start with by end of January 2010 on first come first serve basis. All the rest of the details will be send to the individuals who show interest.
If you are interested, please send your name and email address for more details to info@yeskenya.org
- Your name,
- Email address and
- Phone number.
We will respond to your inquiry shortly. If you know someone who may be interested as well please forward this email to them.
All interested inquiries will be responded to and contacted via email.

Why You Should Not Fail in Your Duty to Transform Kenya
Young Leaders of our motherland --
Happy New Year 2011. The year 2010 has had its ups and downs. I just want to thank you for the continued participation in this online platform. It is people like you who have made us remain at the indelible mark of objective online dialogue.
We managed a couple of grassroots meetings, policy dialogue at the high of Government and kept abreast of national issues that are affecting all of us. With your help, we will even expand more if you can introduce three of your friends to join the discussion this year.
Year 2011 is going to have the biggest mark on shaping the future of our country. It is also going to be the defining moment on whether the youth can rise up to the challenge of national leadership. Our country will be different in the next six month. By the time we hit September, the dynamics will have changed completely. It is you who will contribute to the positive development of Kenya our mother land. We will be appealing to you to support a couple of national actions. But that will not be enough. It is you who will decide what will change the future of your community. We want to support every step of your way as you do with ours and enroll as many other people like you from all across this country who are ready for Positive change.
In 2008, we sunk deep as a country. The Post Election Violence threatened to tear the socio-political and development strata of Kenya. Many souls have departed due to the harsh realities at the time. Let us not forget, but let us be the ones who push for justice so that their blood is not wasted into the cold dust.
Now we are faced with a daunting task—of making sure that we hold our country together as the Leaders, our MP's we elected threaten to tear apart our common unity, rape our constitutional rights and lead us into Parliamentary Anarchy. Let us not allow them.
In the next three months, we shall hold 8 Regional Dialogues, see the election of the National Youth Council and support the ICC Process to the fullest. As the year progresses, we are proposing to our partners to support a Leadership BootCamp. From our online Dialogue, we shall need to narrow down to a given number of Constituencies that we must Capture by the ballot in 2012 and have our charismatic and abled young leaders take over. We want o see the young people take a lead in defining the leadership of the County Governments.
We want to walk with you as you define History. Through working together, I am sure we shall overcome. Join us this year as we write the history of a New Transformed Kenya that we created by the New Constitution. Every one of you who works to accomplish a NEW Kenya– must know that you are an equal shareholder of Kenya and that you have a voice. The role we will play in 2011 – and for the next fourteen months, should be towards accomplishing your pride for Kenya. If you believe, you will fight for the country, and we will fight with you, so that the future generations come to appreciate and enjoy the good work that we did.
Send us a note if you would like to be part of the Positive Change for Kenya.
We are better together.
Service,Strength and Honour

Mars Group Kenya Updates: Kenya President attempts to repeal ICC Rome Statute after ICC names his key Government officials and ministers as suspects of crimes against humanity
Kenya President attempts to repeal ICC Rome Statute after ICC names his key
Government officials and ministers as suspects of crimes against humanity
Mwai Kibaki – let Justice be done though the heavens fall.
Kenya must comply with the Rome Statute by cooperating with the ICC, and
cooperation extends to making arrests of the Masterminds behind the Post
Election Violence which killed 1,133 Kenyans and displaced over half-a-million
citizens in less than 60 days. We need to be clear to the unelected Grand
Coalition Government that there is no issue of choice here.
Reports in the Press today say that President Mwai Kibaki has attempted to give
comfort of office to the masterminds of murder, rape, arson and displacement of
kenyans after their public naming by the Chief Prosecutor of the International
Criminal court. That Mwai Kibaki could say - "stay put" is disturbing to say
the least. Kenyans are not idiots to be joked around with by war lord
politicians whose vision is one of greed and ruling by the sword. Kenya is a
Democracy, where the Rule of Law must prevail at all times.
The Kenya Government has taken Zero steps to establish a criminal Justice forum
for the post elections victims. The Kenya Government has no color of right to
interfer with the default option of the International Criminal Court that was
prescribed by the Presidents' own commission of inquiry into the Post election
violence. Mwai Kibaki accepted the Waki (CIPEV) report and now must live with it
or Mwai Kibaki must Stand Impeached as a defender of Impunity for Crimes against
Humanity, including rape, Murder, arson and forced displacements of his fellow
Citizens. Raila Odinga needs to make his own personal statement as Prime
Minister as to whether he agrees with President Mwai Kibaki's response to the
naming of the 6 mastermind suspects of crimes against humanity commited in
Kenya.
We wish to remind Mwai Kibaki that any attempts to derail the ICC will result in
a direct indictment against him as an individual who will bear the greatest
responsibility for his troops – in this case loose talking Members of
Parliament, including Cabinet Ministers and senior Government officials who
appear to making statements on his behalf.
85% of Kenyans according to National poll taken this week - want suspects of
these henious crimes taken to the Hague to face trial and justice. The Kenyans
who were polled knew that the 6 suspects were high ranking government officials
(and only one is a private citizen). We certainly do not want them serving us
in any capacity. Who do they speak to now? Whom do they purport to speak for?
Kibaki should take responsibility and sack Muthaura, Uhuru Kenyatta, Henry
Kosgei, and Major Ali as post Master General. Failing to act and continuing this
irresponsible behaviour can only be construed to mean that Kibaki condones the
killing of Kenyan Citizens.
Kibaki should also be aware of Article 27 and 28 of the Rome Statute and that he
could be facilitating the cover up of Crimes against Humanity. " Mr
President, you have a sacred constitutional duty towards facilitating justice
for all in Kenya. You must not fail Kenyans. If you do, then you should be
regarded as bearing the greatest responsibility for what happened in Kenya in
January and February 2008, and face the Hague on the crime of obstructing
justice. There is no such thing as power without responsibility."
Kenyans have taken a decision to support law abiding officials of Government
rather than Law breaking Senior politicians and Government Officials. Kenyans
are tired of individuals who believe, because of some bogus birthright, prior or
current position, that they can act with Impunity, commit crimes in Kenya and
get away with it. Kenya has changed. The sign of the times is that days are
numbered for these kind of people in Kenya. They have no support among the
Kenyan Public. We the people have said let Justice be done though the heavens
fall.

Youth give PM raft of demands
Published on 24/11/2010
By LUCIANNE LIMO
The youth now want 30 per cent representation in national decision-making organs and slots in the new commissions established under the new Constitution.
Youth leaders tabled a raft of demands they want done for them to exploit their potentials during a meeting with Prime Minister Raila Odinga on Wednesday. They also want the Government to establish an employment database.
"There is severe unemployment among the youth and low representation in decision-making organs. We are demanding inclusion and participation in governance," said Emmanuel Ngongo, co-ordinator Youth Enterprise and Sustainability.
The leaders also urged the Government to revamp the Youth Fund and offer them 'friendly' health services.
"Lack of access to quality healthcare has increased the cases of HIV and Aids infections among the youth," said Ngongo, adding that only a few have access to antiretroviral drugs and contraceptives.
However, the PM advised the youth to work out their dreams diligently.
"Whatever you want to be, whether a doctor, engineer, lawyer, athlete, soccer star, businessperson, president or prime minister, you have to dream about it and then work hard to achieve the dream," he advised. He said the new Constitution recognises the rights of the youth.
Skills vs Labour market
The youth leaders also complained about the local education system.
"We recommend that the Government improves the quality and relevance of higher education and align graduate skills to the current labour market," said Ngongo in a statement.
Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports Paul Otuoma regretted that 36 per cent of national population are youth between ages 15 to 35 who are either unemployed or underpaid.
Publics Works Minister Dalmas Otieno expressed optimism that the ideas fronted by the youth will be incorporated to development of the country
