NAIROBI: Kenya stole the show at the 23rd edition of the World Trade Awards Africa and Indian Ocean gala ceremony. The country swept 23 of the 57 awards at the event held in Zanzibar.

Surprisingly, Kenya Airways was declared Africa’s leading airline 2016 against all the turbulence it has faced in the recent past and for the fourth year running retained its grip as the continent’s leading airline in the business class.
