Kenya sells 15% Safaricom stake to Vodacom for $1.7B to fund infrastructure without debt or taxes.
Kenya’s government is advancing the sale of its 15% stake in Safaricom to Vodacom, aiming to raise Sh244.5 billion for the National Infrastructure Fund to finance major projects without increasing debt or taxes.
The deal would boost Vodacom’s share to 55% and reduce the government’s to 20%.
While officials say the fund will drive infrastructure growth, critics warn the move risks undermining national control over digital infrastructure like M-Pesa, raises concerns about asset undervaluation, and echoes past privatizations that failed to deliver long-term public benefits.
