Kenya's candidate in the race for World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director-General post CS Amina Mohamed has qualified for the next round of tests, the council announced on Friday. The five will compete in the next round that starts on September 24 and end on October 6. Ms Mohamed had contested against Azevêdo in 2013, but lost on a decision made by consensus among member states. The director-general of the WTO is appointed through consensus, meaning candidates will have to do lots of horse-trading ahead of the decision on August 31. The WTO, formed in 1995 is a rule-making body that guides international trade and tries to resolves disputes.
