Matharu wins KCB Visa Card Rally
Dhanraj Matharu navigated by Atul Kochhar, in a 17-year-old Subaru Legacy, won the KCB Visa Card Rally at Athi River plains. The event is a round of the Kenya National Rally Championship. Matharu made his rallying debut at last months KCB Safari Rally, but fell out with a blown turbo near Elementeita. Matharu had his campaign sewn up in this Rallye Sports Club organised rally when most of the top contenders failed to navigate through the thick mud. Crews had to contend with slippery and muddy conditions that saw most of the cars get stuck. It was not a good experience for Formula Two cars that caused a snarl-up at the Farm Stage. They were towed out before managing only two runs on the 12km Primarosa-Ngunjiri and 2km Blue Triangle stages. VW Golf driver Jasmeet Chana won the Formula Two category for the first time.
Hunting ban plan splits delegates
Tens of thousands of tourists flock to Kenya each year to see lions, leopards, elephants, wildebeest and other wildlife roaming the parks and reserves. But animal numbers have fallen by at least two-thirds over the last three decades, and experts blame poaching plus human destruction of their habitats. Those backing sport hunting say it would preserve wildlife by encouraging better management and earning big money that could be ploughed back into conservation. It would also bring Kenya into line with neighbours Uganda and Tanzania, and with South Africa, which all profit from restricted hunting. Opponents have denounced any moves to re-introduce the blood sport and accused elitist hunters of colluding with wealthy local landowners.
