Rally fans have every reason to celebrate after Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed announced that spectator stages will be open for fans right from the Kasarani Stadium to the final stage at Hell’s Gate from Thursday until Sunday.

But she cautioned the fans to observe Covid-19 Protocols, desist from being overzealous or excited while respecting the work of safety marshals.

Speaking outside the Media Centre after an extensive tour of the Service Park yesterday, her third in as many days, the CS who was accompanied by her Principal Secretary Joe Okudo, Sports Kenya Chairman Fred Muteti, and other top government officials, Amina said enough security personnel will be deployed in all spectator areas to ensure the safety of all people.

She added that Safari being a national event, it was rightful to allow spectators who will have enough room to move around.

However, she also asked those visiting Naivasha to observe curfew hours and behave themselves by setting a good example.

The CS added that there will be no gate fee to access the spectator areas which will be secured, keeping fans at least 90 feet from the rally routes.

Only accredited photographers will access the competitive stage.

They will be required to follow the FIA Media Safety guidelines, and respect safety marshals. Kenya Wildlife Service rangers, police, and National Youth Service will provide security and keep wild animals beyond the range of possible attacks.
