PRESS RELEASE

THE TRUMPETS ARE BLOWING FOR DEBTS
From North to South, East to West, the trumpet are blowing. 
Everyday, the cry of the trumpets become louder and louder. 
Thousands of organizations and individuals are joining the campaigns to
pressurize for 100% cancellation of the debts Africa owe the developed
countries.  Statistics, for instance, allege that Kenya’s debts
stand above Ksh 750 B and that ever child inherits about Ksh 42,000 at
birth.  Observers fear that if nothing is done, the debt burden has
a potential to collapse the economic of the developing countries. 
The debts attract very high interests.  Many governments grapple
with servicing these want oftenly, this is done at the expense of
developing the domestic economies.

Never before in the history of Africa has the ordinary citizens come out
in the open to demand cancellation of these debts.  The campaigns
for the cancellations of the African Debts have been going on for several
years.  The concentration has however remained at the elite level in
five star hotels and Umbwa Kali offices situated away from the middle and
lower social classes.  The decisions to mobilize and sensitize the
communities on the need to associate with these campaigns could not have
come at a better time.  In every debt clinic that have been held in
Nairobi, over whelming member of the community have turned up to support
the efforts.  What was lacking before was indeed lack of involving
the lower class of our society who persevere the burden of the
debts.

As a result of this new discovery that the local communities are equally
affected by the debt problem, grassroots organizations are now
sacrificing the comforts of their closed cocoons to come out in the open
and demand for the cancellations of these debts.  They have realized
that indeed debt is slavery, debt is poverty! Cancellations is
justice!

The St. John Sports Society (SCS) has also joined the campaign. 
Formed a few years ago to develop the potentials of young people in
Korongocho slums using sports, SSS has organized a sports tournament
dubbed ‘Deni cup’ ‘Deni’ is Swahili for debts.  They have organized
two days of different sports.  On
23rd
, April, the teams drawn from
the different sports such as football, netball, volleyball, basketball,
athletics, boxing, taekwondo and karate.  Those who qualify will
proceed to the finals scheduled for Sunday
24th
 April at 1.00 O’clock. 
The Saturday event will run from 8.00a.m to 5.00p.m.  Both events
will be hosted at SSS sports grounds, St. John Catholic Church Korogocho.
Trophies, medals and other awards will be up for grabs.

One may be disturbed why a sporting organization new to participate in
such as exercise.  Sports today plays a more fundamental role in
peace building, sustainable development and issues of justice in
general.  In fact the host SSS is not just a mere sports club. 
Human formation and community service and some of her key
objectives.  The SSS believes that sports should be able to use the
goodwill she enjoys world wide as a vehicle to drive home the real issues
affecting our society.

The different organizations, the media, sports personalities, the
government, the non  governmental organizations and the citizenry in
general is invited to join the SSS as they embark on this creative and
effective approach to address Africa’s problems of debt, scathing poverty
and destitution.  Remember the SSS slogan: Pamoja Tunaweza!!
Together ! we can!!
