Safaricom has moved to court in bid to quash a Sh944.5 million cash award to a software developer, who accused the telco of launching two M-Pesa applications, with similar features they had earlier agreed to partner on but later fell out.

The telco is seeking High Court orders to stop Popote Innovations Ltd from enforcing the award it won in November 2024.
