Microsoft's Kenyan data center delayed on payment demands: report

Microsoft's planned data center site in East Africa has been delayed due to disagreements with the Kenyan government over the company's request for guaranteed payments. The issue highlights execution and policy risk around a strategic infrastructure project in an emerging market. The news is modestly negative for project timing, but likely limited in broader market impact absent further escalation.
