[ad_1]

Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala has revoked the appointment of Pauline Njoroge as a member of the Board of Tourism Regulatory Authority.
 
Njoroge’s posting was revoked after Kenyans on social media brought to fore her previous post on the Nairobi National Park.
 
In her post, Njoroge said the only selling point for the park was that it was the only national park in a capital city in the world.
 
She was responding to calls to reroute the Standard Gauge Railway to save the park, which according to her was a lost cause as the park is “economically redundant”.
 

 
Cancelling the appointment, CS Balala said at the time, the ministry was unaware of Njoroge’s stand on the value of the park.
 

Speaking on the sidelines of the official launch of domestic tourism campaign at the Masai Mara, Balala said the appointment painted the ministry in bad light.
 
He thanked the public for bringing to his attention Njoroge’s remarks.
