Walked into Nakumatt Mega and could literally smell the stench of death.The shelves were empty. The look on the faces of the few employees hanging around discussing in small groups was heartbreaking

I visited it too, just yesterday and it was a shell.. Luckily, Tuskys have today put forward a request for takeover.. Hope that the same is accepted

Received on Whatsapp yesterday:

Breakthrough with Nakumatt. They've just signed a merger with Tuskeys and management will be done by Tuskeys. The Nakumatt family will step down and pledge their shares to the financiers for a period of six years. More details will be in the press tomorrow, somebody just got a call from the CEO

The challenge with Tuskys is weak governance ( remember recently when the grandchildren stormed the HQ and kicked off the MD) and they may not have a solid financial base to carry Nakumatt and may therefore not put in the cash required

My question is, if you are a supplier, and you have money stuck in Nakumatt, would you increase your exposure with a Tusky's guarantee, knowing full well you probably will never be repaid what Nakumatt originally owes?

Hard decision. If you avoid and your competitor takes your place and things go well, you will regret. If you go ahead and things get messed up, you are in trouble once again

But once you restart supplying, you are accepting that whatever they owe you is gone!

Tuskys finances is co-managed by KCB. They can't open any additional branch and appoint a CEO without KCB approval.
