“Today it is indeed my great honor and privilege to present our contribution to the Uganda Motorsport Club for the UMOSPOC Independence Rally that revs off this weekend, starting Friday to Sunday. In addition to the contribution of Shs9.5 million, we have also added extra sponsorship for John Consta,” Nampala said.

The UMOSPOC Independence rally forms an important circuit in the national rally calendar and it is decisive in determining the eventual winner of the NRC championship.
