TOO BAD! tourists are not going to come here for escapism when we cannot even survive in our own country. we don’t care that fighting for our lives is inconvenient for them.
Kwale Governor Fatuma Achani has urged Generation Z to call off their weekly protests against the anti-finance bill as it is affecting the tourism economy, particularly in Kwale, Kenya's top tourist destination.
