Safaricom has failed to settle a suit in which it sought to block the sale or transfer of stolen personal data belonging to 11.5 million subscribers.

Two former managers at Safaricom allegedly accessed and shared data, including customer names, phone numbers, birth dates, subscribers' location, gambling records, passport and ID numbers with a businessman, Benedict Kabugi, for sale to a top sports betting firm.
