Government debates Safaricom share sale amid transparency concerns

Residents of Kirinyaga and Kericho counties have weighed in on the government’s plan to sell fifteen percent of its Safaricom shares to Vodacom. At a public participation session, they raised strong concerns over transparency and accountability, warning that the sale must not become a backdoor to mislead Kenyans or fuel corruption. Many are now questioning whether their views will truly shape the final decision.
