The issue may not be the branch [or where it is located] but the 'other' land adjacent to Wilson. The original hypermart was built in the 90s when Suresh Shah was the MD when Uchumi was already a public company.



Hope DJ didn't have any hand in this
It would not surprise me. Not at all.

This can be tied up in court for upto 5 years! Poor Uchumi if they are on the winning side because it means it needs to spend cash to fight the case and cannot sell the property until the case is over.

I told you this guy is disruptive. Too quick to act. Simply asking around, would have made him aware that the Langata hyper land was illegally acquired. Heck, he could even have searched wazua!

I like CEO's like this. When the company is in financial trouble, drastic, decisive, swift efficient measures need to be taken. Ohana did the same with KK.

The land issue is stumbling block,i hopw he overcomes

Does that really apply in this case, airlines have bad reputation and maybe tourism right now. But retail? I think Uchumi just has many ghosts that need exorcising, I wish him well, I like his moves, he's my kind of CEO.

Meanwhile while am happy to buy recoverd profit making kk at the same price that investors think loss making recovering Uchumi is worth (8.00). I'll take those thank-you very much
