Kenyans have reacted angrily to British supermodel Naomi Campbell's new position. According to Lenta.ru, they shared their views on social media. According to the Twitter account of the Kenyan Ministry of Tourism, the popular model, who has been appointed the country's tourism ambassador, will represent the country's interests at the international level. Locals have expressed angry comments under the post, saying they want to see a Kenyan in the post.
"This step shows that you do not trust the Kenyans to promote the country. Why is it important to hire a British woman to promote tourism in Kenya? This colonial mentality has crippled Kenya's tourism industry. We always see ourselves as oppressed, ”wrote one user. Users have nominated theater and film actress Liuptia Nyongo, model Ajuma Nasenyana or Kenyan politician Debra Sanaypei for the post. However, Tourism Ministry Secretary Najib Balala said Naomi Campbell's appointment was a necessary step to promote and develop the tourism sector in Kenya.
