The CEO is paid millions every month yet they cant modernize their supermarkets. They all look like Kiosks. They should give me this supermarket to run


@jwatesh..true..i think the management doesnt go ito the details of interor and exterior design like other supermarkets do exept for the langata road one which looks well designed. other smaller ones like eastmatt are putting alot of effort in design/branding and over time, will surely wrestle the large players and gain a strong footing.

I also noted uchumi chains like taj mall embakasi lacking basic comondities like hostess maize flour,and many others which small kiosks have.

The drop is attributed to competition, supply chain challenges and trouble at some locations “which may lead to our divestiture and relocation in the coming financial year to more promising locations already identified”.[/quote]

They talk of Uganda but could be happening in Kenya too.

Another gava plagued firm. this is a company on a sharp decline unless management changes.
let's be honest these are just large dirty inspiring kiosks. run with mediocrity I'm surprised they are making profits

interesting to note is the following statement by cabinet secretary
"Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich says the government will merge government owned companies that have similar roles in bid to enhance efficiency pointing out that they are working on a the legal framework that will facilitate the mergers."

any listed company which is likely to be affected

highlights of uchumi CEO interview on citizen TV:


uchumi may need only 800m in right issue.
rights 3 for every 8 shares
no takeover plan though many foreign chains have created interest
not exiting Uganda market, exited one branch and opened another.
targets Rwanda market
all debts cleared and suppliers paid
branches fully restocked
