[ad_1]
Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala has revoked Pauline Njoroge’s appointment as a member of the Tourism Regulatory Authority board with immediate effect.
In a statement on Saturday, CS Balala said she had been replaced with Standard Group journalist Najma Ismail.
He explained that the ministry had just learned of her past remarks about the Nairobi National Park and could not associate itself with her.
“… we have just seen what she tweeted in the past, that Nairobi National Park was useless. We do not want to be associated with such people and such thinking,” he said.
“The integrity of the park is very important and the government is committed to saving it and any other protected area which is the habitat for our national heritage – wildlife.”
CS Balala regretted that the ministry did not know about Ms Njoroge’s view and thanked members of the public who used social media to highlight the issue.
