NAIROBI, Kenya Nov 2 – Six Kenyans have moved to the High Court seeking orders to prevent the government from committing public funds or resources towards the planned international football friendly between German side FC Bayern Munich and Dutch club AFC Ajax at the Raila Odinga International Stadium, popularly known as Talanta Stadium.
The petitioners, led by Erick Mankuyu, want the court to compel the government to disclose the full financial arrangements for the match, which is scheduled for January 5, 2027, as part of the official opening of the newly constructed stadium in Nairobi.
The petition challenges the transparency of the event’s financing, arguing that the government has not adequately disclosed the sponsorship agreements, contractual obligations and possible public financial commitments associated with the high-profile fixture.
