Kenyan architect Stephen Oundo has been elected President of the Commonwealth Architects Association (CAA). Mr Oundo, who previously served as the National Construction Authority (NCA) chairman, will be the second Kenyan after Philip Kung'u and the third African to head the 59-year-old regional body.

He will serve for a two-year term. He will, however, remain in office for another two years as per the CAA constitution to allow continuity even as the next President prepares to take over.
