More restraint needed over travel advisories

It is a matter of regret that America, and the United Kingdom have found it necessary to deal Kenya’s tourism industry a blow at a time when it is recovering from the slow-down brought about by the March 4 general elections by issuing travel advisories to their nationals.

The US advisory says the government has continued to receive information about “potential terrorist activities” in Kenya. The statement indicates that Nairobi and Mombasa are potential points of attacks based on the information they have received.
