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.
