Kenya Motorsports Faces Leadership Crisis

A faction of motorsport stakeholders in Kenya has formed a new association, the Motorsports Association of Kenya (MAK), in response to ongoing leadership disputes within the Kenya Motor Sport Federation (KMSF).**

Led by legendary rally champion Ian Duncan, the MAK accuses KMSF interim chairman Jim Kahumbura of poor leadership and high-handedness. The group claims that these internal conflicts are negatively impacting the sport, particularly after the resignation of the entire Kenya Rallies Commission and Autocross Commission.

According to Duncan, the KMSF has lost sight of its primary stakeholders: competitors, officials, and volunteers. The MAK argues that these individuals are not interested in political infighting but rather seek a functional governing body that represents their interests.

The MAK has developed a new constitution and has garnered support from over 1,000 fans, officials, marshals, and drivers. They believe that the KMSF is no longer capable of meeting the needs and desires of the motorsport community.

Richard Onyoni, former chair of the Kenya Rallies Commission, is among those supporting the MAK. He believes that the new association is necessary to “save the sinking sport.”

The MAK is calling on the relevant government and sporting bodies to intervene and address the leadership crisis. They also urge the registrar to recognize the MAK as the new governing body for motorsport in Kenya, acknowledging the crucial role played by competitors, marshals, and volunteers.

The KMSF, under interim chairman Jim Kahumbura, is scheduled to hold its Annual General Meeting on October 9. The outcome of this meeting will likely determine the future of motorsport in Kenya.
