Murang’a Woman Representative Sabina Chege wants Tourism Cabinet Secretary Najib Balala to come clean on renowned blogger Pauline Njoroge’s appointment.
The latter’s nomination to the Tourism Regulatory Authority board was revoked shortly after the same was gazetted.
The MP thus wants Balala to confirm that the appointment of members of the TRA board through the August 7 gazette notice was in line with the law.
“Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the circumstances under which the appointment of one Pauline Njoroge to the said Board was revoked 24 hours after gazettement?” she asked.
The MP seeks to know if Njoroge was given a fair hearing prior to the revocation of her appointment to the board.
The CS is expected to appear before the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources chaired by Maara MP Kareke Mbiuki.
Balala revoked the appointment of Pauline Njoroge as member of the Tourism Regulatory Authority board.
The CS cited the nominee’s earlier comments regarding the Nairobi National Park.
“I am revoking Pauline Njoroge’s appointment as a board member because we have just seen what she had tweeted in the past that Nairobi National Park was useless,” Balala said.
The CS appointed Standard Group journalist Najma Ismail to the board shortly after revoking Njoroge’s appointment.
