Governor Tunai who spoke at Oltepesi in Narok East constituency during the housewarming of Narok County Assembly Nominated MCA Jane Mututua said the Tourism industry was headed full recovery ahead of Christmas and New Year festivities.

“We have gotten through information from our Health CS that there are three confirmed cases of Omicron. I therefore appeal to international community not to impose travel restrictions or lockdown as this is now a global problem,” said Tunai.
