Sekta ya kibinafsi itaongoza WRC Safari Rally 2026 chini ya mfumo mpya

Wizara ya Michezo nchini Kenya imethibitisha ushirikiano mpya wa kimkakati na sekta ya kibinafsi kwa ajili ya Toleo la 6 la WRC Safari Rally 2026, ili kuhakikisha maandalizi yasiyokatizwa. Waziri Mkuu wa Michezo Salim Mvurya alisema makubaliano haya yatapunguza mzigo wa kifedha wa serikali katika kuandaa hafla za kimataifa. Tukio litafanyika Naivasha kuanzia Machi 12-15.

Wizara ya Michezo imetangaza kuwa imesaini makubaliano mapya ambayo yatamwona sekta ya kibinafsi ikichukua jukumu la kuongoza uratibu wa WRC Safari Rally 2026. Katika taarifa ya Jumapili, Februari 24, 2026, Mvurya alisema makubaliano haya yanakusudiwa kupunguza mzigo wa kifedha wa serikali katika kuandaa hafla za kimataifa. "Ingawa ushirikiano huu wa kihistoria unatangaza enzi mpya kwa motorsport nchini Kenya, utapunguza sana ahadi ya kifedha ya serikali kila mwaka kwa tukio la WRC," Mvurya alisema.

"Kwa hivyo, nataka kuwahakikishia Wanakenya, wadau, washirika, na mashabiki wa motorsport kuwa maandalizi ya WRC Safari Rally 2026 yamekamilika, na nchi yetu iko tayari kabisa kuandaa onyesho lingine la kusisimua la motorsport la kimataifa," aliongeza.

Msimamizi Mkuu na maafisa wengine wa WRC Safari Rally Project Secretariat wamerudishwa kwenye Wizara ya Michezo ili kuendelea na majukumu yao hadi tukio. Mvurya ana matumaini kuwa mfumo mpya huu utakuwa wa msingi katika kuhakikisha ubia kamili wa michezo na mali za michezo nchini, kulingana na maono ya kimkakati ya Rais William Ruto kukuza ukuaji wa uchumi.

Tangu Kenya irudi kwenye kalenda ya Ushamili wa Dunia wa Rally mwaka 2021, serikali imekuwa ikiongoza uratibu kupitia WRC Safari Rally Project Secretariat, ikisimamia mipango, usalama, uboreshaji wa miundombinu, na malipo ya ada ya promota. Sasa majukumu haya yatakuwa yamehamishiwa sekta ya kibinafsi. Hapo awali, wafadhili wa kampuni na kampuni za kibinafsi zilishiriki katika maeneo kama branding na lojisti za ndani.

Tukio litafanyika Naivasha, mji uliokuwa unahusishwa na motorsport huu wa ikoni kwa miaka mingi, kutokana na mandhari nzuri na njia za rally pana zinazotoa mazingira bora ya kujaribu uwezo wa madereva wa rally. Kwa miaka mingi, tukio limekuwa kivutio kikubwa cha watalii, likivutia wageni maelfu, na hivyo kukuza uchumi wa eneo hilo.
