The race to elect a new chair for the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI) has entered the home stretch with candidates intensifying campaign to win over delegates to their respective camps.

Outgoing Chairman Kiprono Kittony is set to retire in May when his two-year term comes to an end. However, prospective candidates are launching their manifestos promising radical reforms to revamp the powerful business lobby.
