Been following the thread and news on this Nakumatt saga. Wondered if ppl remember that when Uchumi started having trouble at the beginning of Kibaki years and asked to be bailed out that Nakumatt wrote to Mukhisa Kituyi and David Nalo who were heading the then Trade ministry wondering why the co should be bailed and sinically wondering why they should not get a equal amount of money from taxpayers. They wanted their competition out of the way and indeed their growth came from the misfortune of Uchumi. Historically competitors have come to the rescue of each other in times of trouble. Think of Garett George from BBK to KCB at home and Microsoft and Apple in another market. Competition sometimes make companies stronger. The story of Uchumi and Nakumatt shall or can make a good desertation/research/ topics for MBA

Both have imploded due to mgmt mistakes whether family and or inept managers(don't tell me about the dukawallah Shah) he too created the mess at Uchumi. You may have your view but ask the insiders- no succession plan. Hope Naivas and Tuskys don't follow the same path but as things stand . . . I fear!

Regional retailer Nakumatt is running out of options for survival after it emerged that its owners have no immediate plan to inject new capital into the business as the Kenya government has ruled out bailing out a private enterprise

Am told they are the ones who having been refusing to let go. Otherwise suitors have been coming.Some sentimental attachment of some sort.

A senior Government official has laid bare the extent of Nakumatt Supermarket’s financial woes, revealing the retailer is reeling under a Sh30 billion debt.

This makes the recovery of the regional retail chain, whose debt position in the public domain has been put at Sh18 billion, more tasking.

According to the source, Nakumatt owes suppliers Sh15 billion. Ten commercial banks are also on its neck, seeking to recover Sh8 billion and it has also soaked in an additional debt to the tune of Sh7 billion in commercial paper.

Now it makes sense why there were no eggs at Westgate and Junction on two separate occassions...
