A United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based firm will take up a majority stake in Telkom Kenya from London’s Helios Investment Partners, marking the latest twist in the deal room of the loss-making telco.

The Treasury said on Wednesday it had settled on Infrastructure Corporation of Africa LLC (ICA) of the UAE to be the new majority shareholder in Telkom Kenya following a competitive process that started in January 2023.
