“As KCB, we reaffirm our commitment to motorsport by co-sponsoring the Pearl of Africa rally. This is not only about supporting sports but empowering drivers and supporting communities”, Noela noted.
Having signed a seasonal deal with the federation as a title sponsor for the National Rally Championship, KCB Uganda continues to extend a helping hand to its drivers; Nasser Mutebi, Oscar Ntambi and Mike Mukula Junior respectively. This was evident with a huge boost the corporate organization pumped into the KCB rally team recently.
