East Africa: Raila's Daughter Apologises Over Olduvai Remarks

A few days after Tanzanians started an online petition to compel Raila Odinga's daughter to apologise for erroneously saying that the Olduvai Gorge, a site in Tanzania that holds evidence of the earliest existence of mankind, is in Kenya, she has finally apologised for the misinformation.
Rosemary Odinga made the statement while addressing one of the sessions of the International Young Leaders Assembly (IYLA), in the USA, last year.
However, Tanzania Tourist Board (TTB), Public Relations officer, Mr Geodfrey Tengeneza said, they were aware of the apology made by Ms Odinga though the board was not ready to talk more about the matter.
Mr Tengeneza said TTB would like to applaud the reaction made by Tanzanians and non-Tanzanians within and outside Tanzania, who through this incident were able to stand up as 'one voice' and tell the world that Olduvai Gorge is in Tanzania.
