Kenyan nominated to head UN trade agency
Kenyan national Mukhisa Kituyi has been nominated by UN boss Ban Ki-moon to head the United Nations' principal trade organ.
The nomination of Mr Kituyi as the secretary-general of the 194-member United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is subject to confirmation by the UN General Assembly.
If confirmed, the former Commerce and Industry minister and Kenyan parliamentarian will replace Thai national Supachai Panitchpakdi, whose four-year term ends on August 31, a UN statement said.
Mr Supachai took office on September 1, 2005 and was reappointed to the Geneva-headquartered agency in 2009.
