Contributing sentiments towards policy:
48% : Safaricom said late Wednesday that Kenya is selling a 15% stake in the telecom operator to South Africa's Vodacom in a deal worth about $1.6 billion, as the government seeks to raise cash by offloading some state assets. Facing high public debt, limited room to raise taxes, and annual debt repayments that absorb 40% of government revenues, President William Ruto's administration has increasingly turned to asset sales to bolster its finances.*Our bias meter rating uses data science including sentiment analysis, machine learning and our proprietary algorithm for determining biases in news articles.
