Kenya's government plans to sell more of its shareholding in telecom operator Safaricom, Finance Minister John Mbadi was cited as saying in Kenyan newspaper Business Daily on Monday.

The government aims to raise $1.16 billion in the 2025/26 financial year through the sale of stakes in companies it has share in, including selling more of its ownership of Safaricom, Mbadi told the Business Daily in an interview.
