The Safaricom Dealer Association has cautioned the Kenyan government against selling a 15 percent stake in Safaricom to Vodacom Group, fearing it could undermine Safaricom's dealer-based distribution model. The government plans to sell 6 billion shares at Sh34 per share, raising approximately Sh204.3 billion.

• The proposed sale involves 15 percent of Safaricom's stake to Vodacom Group for about Sh204.3 billion.
• The Safaricom Dealer Association is concerned about potential changes to Safaricom's shared prosperity model, contrasting it with Vodacom's more centralised approach in other markets.
• Dealers warned of possible management changes, reviews of existing contracts, and job losses, urging the government to safeguard agreements and ensure dealer representation.
