Businessman Tony Gachoka and nine other petitioners have written to the President of the Court of Appeal seeking clarification over what they term as an unusual alteration and fast-tracking of a State application relating to the proposed sale of government shares in Safaricom PLC.
In a letter addressed to the President of the Court of Appeal through the Deputy Registrar, advocate Lempaa Suiyanla of Mugeria, Lempaa and Kariuki Advocates raised concerns over the handling of Court of Appeal Civil Application No. E261 of 2026, in which the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Economic Planning and five others are seeking to overturn conservatory orders that blocked the national government from selling Safaricom shares.
The application stems from a ruling by High Court judges Francis Gikonyo, Roselyne Aburili and T.W. Ouya delivered on May 18, 2026.
