The much-anticipated Miss World visit hit a snag on Friday after the high-powered international delegation cancelled the Nairobi tour citing insecurity.
“We, the Miss World Kenya office regret to inform you that the dinner in honour of Miss World, which was to be held on April 10, 2015 has been postponed due to the British travel advisory, which has been escalated by the Garissa terror attack. We will advise you as soon as we have the new date,” said Terry Mungai, the CEO, Ashleys Ltd — the stable under which the Miss World Kenya franchise falls — in a mail forwarded to MondayBlues.
The Miss World Kenya team led by the reigning queen Idah Nguma was set to host the current Miss World, Rolene Strauss from South Africa and her predecessor Megan Young from Philippines, accompanied by other international beauties in Nairobi.
