Legends Edmunds, Mwangi Join KMSF Board
Safari Rally legends Glen Edmunds and George Mwangi have been appointed to the newly formed Kenya Motor Sport Federation (KMSF) Appeals Board.
Together with Commercial and Sports lawyer James Gichuru, they will constitute the three-man appeals board.
“In order to strengthen motor sports governance and comply with the Federation of International Automobile (FIA) statutes and having consulted widely with the FIA office, I hereby appoint the three to the said office to serve for the next one year,” Safari Rally Kenya CEO Phineas Kimathi said in a press statement.
“This appointment is in accordance with Article 15.1.1-15.3.2 of the FIA International Sporting Code,” Kimathi said.
The board will be tasked with dealing with pending disputes and guide the Rallies Commission on the best way to resolve such disputes.
“I wish the three the best and urge them to exercise the delegated authority in a just and fair way,” Kimathi, who also doubles up as KMSF Chairman and Motorsports Kenya President, said.
Gichuru is expected to inject the much-needed legal framework to the board. Edmunds is a former rally driver and an international team manager and brings with him a wealth of rallying experience to the board, having served as a local coordinator for various teams in the WRC Safari Rally.
Dennis Ombachi, popular rugby player and chef has set tongues wagging after sharing a snippet of his toddler son showcasing that he can float on water and swim to safety.
Ombachi took to his Instagram page to share a video throwing the little boy into the water, leaving many in shock.
In the short video, the rugby player lifted his son up, kissed him, then he tossed him into a swimming pool by the leg.
“Four weeks since we started water safety classes and my son graduated today, officially water safe!” Ombachi gushed on Twitter about his son’s abilities.
Once in the water, the baby boy quickly gets himself to a floating position and kicks his feet moving forward steadily. It appears that he can get himself out of a pool and even keep his head up to breathe after having been taught the life skill early on.
Following the child’s accomplishment, Ombachi said that he is a “proud father”
“Proud of you my naughty boy, you’re finally Water Safe, less worries for us when you are out of our sight having successfully completed your water safety class. Happy graduation day,” he wrote on Instagram.
Since his early Monday morning post, the self-taught chef has been trending on Twitter, with over 5000 tweets being made about him, with netizens sharing mixed reactions.
