“We have a whole government approach. The Safari Rally has brought together the whole government to make this event a success.
“This is the way we shall be doing our business and we don’t want to leave anybody behind. We want everyone to participate for the success of the event and we leave something behind after the rally,” the CS said.
“Safari Rally has greater benefits of profiling our country for tourism trade and other benefits. I am confident the CEO and the team are up to the task and they will host a successful event. This is a world-class event,” he added.
