The High Court of Justice has extended a freeze on the Kenyan government's planned sale of a 15% stake in Safaricom to Vodacom Group, stalling a transaction valued at approximately KES 244.5 billion.

• The deal's total value stands at KES 244.5 billion, comprising a 15% share sale worth KES 204.3 billion and a KES 40.2 billion upfront dividend.
• Key organizations involved include the National Treasury, Safaricom, and Vodacom Group.
• Petitioners argue the sale undervalues Safaricom, lacks public participation, and poses national security risks due to transferring majority control to a foreign entity.
