Kenya’s President William Ruto is asking member states of the African Union (AU) to surrender certain powers to the continental bloc as part of reforms needed to make the body work.

President Ruto made the radical suggestion on Thursday at a summit of the Common Market for East and Southern Africa (Comesa) in the Zambian capital Lusaka.
