Safaricom has urged the High Court not to halt the proposed sale of government shares in the telecommunications firm, arguing the transaction is lawful and not subject to conservatory orders.

• Safaricom maintains the sale is a commercial dispute under regulatory oversight and warns that halting it would negatively affect investor confidence and distort the market.
• Key individuals involved include lawyers for Safaricom, such as Andrew Musangi, and petitioners' counsel, SC Kalonzo Musyoka and Lempaa Suyiaka.
• Petitioners are seeking to preserve the status quo, arguing that proceeding with the sale could render their case nugatory and lead to the loss of sovereign assets.
