United Opposition welcomes court ruling on Safaricom stake sale

The United Opposition has welcomed the High Court decision blocking the sale of the government’s 15 percent stake in Safaricom, describing it as a victory for Kenyans. The opposition is now demanding that the government comply with the ruling, including refunding any money obtained from the sale before pursuing an appeal. The opposition says the ruling vindicates its concerns over public participation and the disposal of Safaricom as a key national asset.
