Under her watch, Kenya reclaimed the status of World Rally Championship (WRC) Safari Rally after 20 years of waiting with the event set to remain on the FIA calendar until 2026 after a three-year extension to the current contract was signed in Monaco at the beginning of this year.

She currently serves in the World Motor Sport Council, a key governance organ of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) having been re-elected this year in the global motor sports governing body.

Amid covid-19 pandemic, the government facilitated quality preparations for Kenyan teams that participated in Tokyo Olympics in Japan to finish position 19th globally in medals standings and also 3rd in the track and field medal table after Italy and the United States.

Others who were feted include Mavoko member of parliament and National Assembly Sports Committee chairman Patrick Makau who received Leadership and Development Focused Achievement Award at the event that brought together several stakeholders.

THIS ONE HERE IS FOR THE GREAT PEOPLE OF MAVOKO.

We are number one in Leadership and development countrywide.
