The National Assembly Committee on Appointments has rejected Peninah Malonza's nomination as Tourism Cabinet Secretary, citing that she did not demonstrate knowledge of topical, administrative and technical issues touching on the Ministry of Tourism.
“She lacked the requisite abilities and professional experience to be approved for appointment to the Office of the Cabinet Secretary,” read the report tabled in Parliament on Tuesday, October 25.
Malonza’s suitability will however be decided by the entire House, who might overrule the committee and approve her appointment. KTN News Live ~ Streaming Kenya, Africa and World news and programmes 24/7
