Newly crowned Miss Tourism Mombasa may have warmed her way to higher places after she impressed Kenya Ports Authority boss Danson Mungatana, cracking his ribs with a joke shortly before she was crowned the new beauty queen.
After the judges asked her where she would recommend a visitor to enjoy a meal on the luxurious island, the University of Nairobi beauty humbled all by saying her choice would be a local restaurant were one could sample Swahili delicacies - as opposed to the five-star hotels.
The response impressed the KPA boss who pledged to support the beauty in her new county role. Saying Mombasa youth had been left behind in entertainment and generally in creative arts, he said he was willing to work closely with the youth from the Coast to come up with sustainable money making projects.
