DESCRIPTION
We members of Bunge la Mwanainchi and residents of Nairobi city are petitioning the office of Nairobi Governor , Mr Evans Kidero and UN- Habitat Executive Director Joan Clos, under article 37 of our consitution, to stop the intended ecological destruction of JEEVANJEE GARDENS , that will lead to commercialization of the only Green Park in the City of Nairobi. The Governor of Nairobi and the Executive Director of the UN- Habitant launched a Project at Jeevanjee Gardens on 24 Feburary in the name of “Nairobi Revitalizing Public Spaces” a joint cooperation of the Nairobi City County and UN-Habitat., which the the plan includes: 1. Cutting down of trees in the park and fence 2. Introduction of market stalls and exhibitions 3. Introduction of food kiosks. 4. Displacement of Bunge la Mwanainchi members and ordinary citizens from accessing the park, by making the park a tool of revenue collection for the County Government. JEEVANJEE GARDENS was donated to the people of Nairobi by Alibhai Mulla jeevanjee not to be a market space for private interest , but to be a recreation and social space. The park is home to many indigenous trees and many bird species and any the ecological destruction of the park is against article 69 and 70 of the constitution of Kenya which ensure state protection of the Environment and ecologically sustainable development. JEEVANJEE GARDENS is also home to Bunge la Mwanainchi, social movement which advocate for social justice and ecological sustainable development . The Park give ordinary Kenyans a solidarity space that gives the common people a civic space to discuss and address issues affecting their daily lives and any interference with this platform is interfering with freedom of speech and expression, the constitution also gives room for public participation and the residents of Nairobi and the users of the park were never consulted in the intended changes that are driven by neo-liberal markets forces and business interests. Since 1991 the social movements lead by Prof. Wangari Maathai have struggled to defend JEEVANJEE GARDENS the only Green Park within the city of Nairobi when Politicians and Business interests tried to grab it . Bunge la Mwanainchi in coalition with the residence of Nairobi demand that UN Habitant and Nairobi County Government to halt the proposed destruction of JEEVANJEE GAREDENS. We are calling for Solidarity from environmental movements to Protect and defend this Historic Gardens against commercialization and destruction of its ecological ecosystem of the Park as our collective rights and inheritance to clean and healthy environment as in article 43 of our Kenya Constitution for the benefit of present and future generations. attched the Plan by UN-Habitant.
