Last Thursday, the Federation of Motorsports Clubs General secretary Irene Blick sent a letter calling off the Rukaari-Lake Mburo Mbarara Rally 2022, when all drivers had arrived in Mbarara and were ready for scrutineering of their cars on Friday.
But she letter changed her mind and sent another letter okaying the rally after talks with Mbarara Motor Sports Club (MMC), the organizers of the NRC new calendar year opener.
Robert Mwesigwa Rukaari, the Mbarara City North MP and the sponsor of the rally stayed calm, made consultations until the FMU and MMC buried their hatchet.
