TWIST: Caroline Mutoko’s KTDC Appointment Declared Illegal

Renowned radio presenter Caroline Mutoko last week was the toast of the town when she was announced as the new chairlady of the Kenya Tourist Development Corporation. However, our elders were not lying when they said, ‘what goes up must come down.’ Only days after the announcement, the High Court of Kenya has declared Caroline’s appointment illegal.

The Kenyan Minister for Tourism, Mr. Dan Mwazo, had appointed Ms. Mutoko through a gazette notice which High Court Justice Cecilia Githua promptly suspended yesterday. To add insult to injury Mutoko was also blocked from becoming a board member of Kenya Safari Lodges and Hotels.

Ouch.

Caroline is not a woman without a backup plan though. Despite this setback, she has her job at Radio Africa as breakfast show presenter AND programme controller. She’s all good.
