Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 29420, member: 2262"] Kenya's Sports Cabinet Secretary Salim Mvurya says the government wants to keep hosting the WRC Safari Rally after the current deal ends in 2026. The Safari Rally returned to world racing in 2021 after being away for 19 years. It is the most popular rally event, with more than 124 million viewers around the world. Mvurya believes Kenya has a strong case to make for keeping this famous race. "Kenya leads Africa in rally racing," Mvurya stated. He pointed out that Kenya offers amazing landscapes and perfect rally conditions that you can't find anywhere else in Africa. The country creates an excellent setting for world-class rally events. Mvurya wants businesses to help Kenya keep the rally. He sees how the event has brought life and money to Naivasha and nearby areas. The rally started Thursday and reached its third day today. Mvurya expressed happiness about how many people came to watch at different stages. He praised the smooth running of this year's competition, thanking partners, sponsors, and FIA for their great work. He reminded fans heading to Naivasha to stay safe around wildlife, saying animals have the right of way and people should be careful. Mvurya wished good luck to all drivers facing the tough Safari terrain with its mix of muddy and dusty conditions. He specifically mentioned both men and women Kenyan drivers competing in the race. President William Ruto will attend the final day tomorrow at Hell's Gate National Park, where winners receive their awards. Mvurya invited more Kenyans to come to support the drivers during the exciting finale. [/QUOTE]
