More than just a greeting, these words reflect a leadership style anchored in inclusivity, empathy and national cohesion. Since taking over the tourism docket, CS Miano has redefined the sector by weaving Kenya’s rich cultural diversity into the very fabric of her development agenda.

Her leadership has elevated tourism into a tool for national pride and unity. By promoting eco tourism, cultural heritage, wildlife conservation and community based tourism, she has not only expanded the country’s tourism offerings but empowered ordinary Kenyans to take part in and benefit from the industry.

Through targeted support for women, youth and marginalized communities, Miano has brought fresh energy into the sector, creating new pathways for employment and sustainable development.
