Rally teams in last weekend's WRC Safari Rally have welcomed President Uhuru Kenyatta's announcement that Kenya will host the event for the next five years. President Uhuru also announced the government's immediate plans to commence preparations for next year's global showpiece. "I had a love-hate relationship with the Safari Rally. Toyota's Ogier won the Safari Rally and stretched his world championship lead to 34 points on Sunday after overnight leader Thierry Neuville hit a rock and retired his stricken Hyundai. I am still absorbing the beauty of the Safari Rally."
