Eish, this is wrong

Haiya!!!! I guess this is how PR backfires bigtime. Uchumi in an attempt to show that all is well posts pictures of the CEO and COO in a well stocked store doing restocking. Meanwhile a landlord who has been waiting for his money for months is reading this and other stories about how Uchumi is about to get to get another 3.5billion bla bla bla yet he is not getting paid and he just cannot take it anymore.

In other countries Brands have a lot value. I guess Kenyans are a rather independent and rational lot. Brand means nothing. Price, convenience and chap chap service are everything. No wonder big name South African Brands could not survive. Even Carrefour had better watch out. The homegrown retailers like Naivas and Tuskys in spite of family wrangles seem to have the best understanding of the peculiar habits of the Kenyan consumer and have a huge advantage.

That now is a no nonsense landlord, you cannot keep on playing around with PR and not paying your debtors.

Did you have to visit the store to know that it's a gimmick.. Learn to listen to the people who's pulse is on the trigger. Kipngetich exits and immediately thereafter GoK announces release of funds for restocking.. Kenyans ain't dumb
