The High Court has ruled to nullify the Kenya government's sale of a 15 percent stake in Safaricom PLC to Vodacom. The decision, announced on September 16, 2026, follows a legal challenge that questioned the validity of the transaction. Kalonzo Musyoka, leader of the Wiper Party and lead counsel for the petitioners, hailed the ruling as a victory for Kenyans. He stated the judgment vindicated concerns raised over the sale and ordered the shares to be restored to the government. The court's decision marks a significant legal development in the telecommunications sector, highlighting ongoing scrutiny of state asset transactions. The ruling comes amid broader debates about transparency and accountability in public sector dealings.
