Vodacom Group maintains its 55 percent stake in Safaricom following a recent court ruling. The ownership dispute between Vodacom and the Kenyan government has escalated. The government had previously contested the stake, arguing it violated national interests. Vodacom insists the stake was legally acquired. The case is pending appeal in the Kenyan High Court. The dispute dates back to 2019 when the government sought to reclaim the stake. Safaricom, a leading mobile network operator, operates under a joint venture structure. The legal battle highlights tensions between foreign investors and national regulatory frameworks. The outcome could influence future foreign investment policies in Kenya. The case remains unresolved as both parties await the court's final decision.
