The Kenyan government is moving forward with a partial divestiture of 15 percent of its equity in Safaricom PLC, reducing its shareholding from 35 percent to 20 percent, aiming to raise approximately Sh204 billion in non-tax revenues.

• The divestiture is projected to generate Sh204 billion for the government.
• The Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) supports this move, viewing it as a critical step to fund infrastructure development through the National Infrastructure Fund (NIF).
• COTU urges Safaricom PLC to cease union-busting tactics and establish a recognition agreement with the Communication Workers Union (COWU).
