The Director of the Kenya’s Law School and former Director of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission , Professor Patrick Lumumba, has urged African countries to throw their support behind Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s bid for the position of the Director General of the World Trade Organisation .
A recent memo of the AU that was addressed to its member states said: “The commission, under the guidance of the Ministerial Committee has made concerted efforts toward the endorsement of one single African candidate for this post. Lumumba regretted that Africans always have the penchant to compete against one another rather than coming together to support the best candidate.
