Dr Mukhisa Kituyi, the Secretary General of the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was an easy man to spot at the just concluded UNCTAD 14 in Nairobi.

Indeed, if a journalist needed to catch his eye he or she simply had to rush to any of the hundreds of the sessions. Kituyi gave opening remarks to nearly all sessions in the six-day talks.
