Gaps exposed in Safaricom and Telkom sales

In this report, AfriCOG documents the privatisation/divestiture of Telkom and Safaricom. “Deliberate Loopholes” describessome of the lapses that occurred in the privatisation of Telkom Kenya and Safaricom: the title refers to the deliberate evasions and subterfuges that created a fertile climate for asset stripping and corruption by senior officials whose identity continues to remain shrouded behind the veil of secrecy provided by international tax havens and off-shore financial centres. The preliminary findings of this study were presented to Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which took the matter to the floor of the House.
