Kenya Convention Bureau names new chief
October 9, 2019
The newly-created Kenya Convention Bureau announced that Mrs. Jacinta Nzioka has been appointed as its new director.
Previously, Jacinta served for several years as Director of Marketing at the Kenya Tourism Board. At one stage she was also Acting CEO while a new CEO was being sourced.
It is understood that parliamentary oversight may still have to confirm the appointment. However, given her track record and reputation, she will no doubt see her confirmation being fast tracked.
Jacinta Nzioka said, she is happy to take the challenge of leading the establishment of the convention bureau and looking forward to Kenya taking opportunity of the MICE business as it gives faster return on investment.

For the past six years, Coast region has borne the brunt of nationalist policies of the Tanzanian administration, which have been blamed for the strained trade relations between the two neighbouring nations.
The tit-for-tat diplomatic relationship between the two nations heightened in May last year after Tanzania banned Kenyan trucks from its territory. This affected evacuation of cargo from Mombasa to the northern part of Tanzania.
Yesterday, Kenya Transport Association (KTA) chief executive Dennis Ombok noted that business through Lunga Lunga, Namanga and Taveta border went down after the ban.
