Kenya’s Tourism Minister Najib Balala has defended the decision to name British model Naomi Campbell as the country’s international tourism ambassador.

During a public event, Mr Balala acknowledged that many Kenyans had questioned why Hollywood actress Lupita Nyong’o had not been picked for the position.

He said Ms Nyong’o had been unreachable for the last five years.

The Kenyan Oscar-winning actress was proposed by many Kenyans on social media as the perfect choice.
