Nakumatt Nanyuki branch evicted, stock thrown out on the street

Struggling retail chain Nakumatt’s woes have deepened after its Nanyuki branch was closed on Tuesday and its stock thrown out of the premises over unpaid rent arrears.

Looters had a field day as they made away with the goods which were strewn on the streets, before police officers arrived and restored in the early morning incident.

The officers, however, had to fire in the air to scare away the looters.

Sources indicate that the supermarket chain has rent arrears amounting to Sh36million.

The proprietor Nanyuki Mall, which has been housing the branch, is said to be preparing to let the premises to another supermarket.
