The Board of Directors of Sarova Hotels, left without a substantive Chairman since the passing of Channi Vohra in mid-October of last year, announced over the weekend the appointment of John Kariuki as the new Chairman of the company.
John, well known to this correspondent since his early days in Kenya, was on board from the early stages when Sarova Hotels was formed in the early 1970s, and for an extended period of time, in fact, served as the company’s Executive Director at the head office, back then located at the New Stanley Hotel.

(eTN) – Kenya President Mwai Kibaki yesterday formally opened the first phase of the new airport in Isiolo. A new hard surface runway of 1.4 kilometers is the first visible sign of the new airport taking shape, due to be expanded to cater to larger jets in the future but for now good enough to accommodate landings and take offs of twin-engine turboprops like the ATR or the Bombardier Q series and smaller corporate jets in use in Kenya.
Construction of a new passenger terminal, able to handle up to 600,000 travelers a year, has also gone underway and is expected to be ready for opening in 2+ years from now.
