Six human rights activists have moved to the High Court in Nairobi seeking to stop the government from committing public funds towards the proposed international friendly between German club Bayern Munich and Dutch side Ajax.
The activists want the court to compel the government to disclose the full financial arrangements behind the January 5, 2027 match, which is expected to officially open the newly constructed Raila Odinga International Stadium, formerly known as Talanta Stadium.
In a constitutional petition filed at the Milimani Law Courts, the petitioners question reports that Bayern Munich could receive approximately 724 million shillings in appearance fees, alongside additional costs for travel, accommodation, security and logistics.
