Ethnic clashes in Nandi Hills have forced organisers of this weekend’s National Autocross Championship to move it from Kisumu to Nairobi’s Jamhuri Park.

According to Equator Motor Club (EMC) chairman Manjeet Singh Sembhi, the decision to move the event is due to the fact that the circuit borders Nandi Hills, where clashes have erupted between two main tribes that live in the area.
