By PETER NJENGA More by this AuthorKenya would have today been the focal point of global motorsport with a guaranteed 70 million people watching the rebirth of the iconic World Rally Championship after 18 years.

The Safari was postponed on May 15 after three months of agonising wait following the Covid-19 pandemic which also affected the FIA World Rally Championship.
