    "content": "In conclusion, we realised that tourism plays a very important role. It is a very important sector in our economy. Right now, we are facing other competitive destinations like Seychelles, Mauritius and other emerging tourism destinations. It is high time this sector was given all the attention it deserves because there is commitment by the Government to fund it. Those who are tasked with implementing certain decisions of the Government at times give priority to their own interests and forget about national interest. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the concerned oversight agencies to ensure that critical Government decisions are implemented as required. Without tourism, the Coast region would face a great challenge. When the Government decided to come up with another branch of the Kenya Tourism College, it was a brilliant idea. However, what is seen now is a different thing from what was envisaged by the Cabinet. That is the reason the Committee recommends that it is high time those who are tasked with managing this sector went back to the original design, concept and Cabinet memo. They should ensure that what is being implemented is what was envisaged by the Cabinet. The Cabinet is not just a mere entity. It is the highest decision-making organ of the Republic of Kenya chaired by none other than His Excellency the President. This is a critical recommendation by the Committee and I hope the Tourism Fund will take it seriously and ensure that the project is properly implemented and completed so that the many Kenyans in the tourism sector can continue to earn their living."
