Najib Balala our current Tourism Cabinet Secretary is doing well for himself. Apart from being one of the few politicians who is actually competent in running a ministry, he is getting recognized globally for his good work in the Kenyan tourism sphere.
The very well dressed CS has just been elected chairperson of the United Nations World Tourism Organization( UNWTO) Commission for Africa for 2017. He was elected at the body’s General Assembly currently taking place in Chengdu, China.
The commission he is to head is a channel that African nations use to air their grievances/ ideas on their various tourism sectors to the global secretariat.
Mr. Balala who is the former Mvita M.P will, therefore now be heading Africa’s tourism agenda for the next 2 years. Question is if Raila was to win the election and he decided to change the tourism CS would the seat change hands or is it conferred to the one heading the tourism docket?
I think the latter, so If I was Najib I would be really crossing my fingers for my boss not to change so that this current plum portfolio be taken from him. Ama?
But anywho, it is wonderful that a Kenyan is being recognized internationally for being able to bring vast experience and competence to such an international job.
