The TRM jamaa was certainly not a Shah family member or a Mwau...
Or did he marry into the families?
Probably a cheap expat?

@kularaha - It makes sense to get real professional... but I remember at Uchumi after Suresh Shah left... the 'professionals' who came in with chris kirubi... destroyed the kampuni!

The dividends & share price we ku-enjoyed...

Suresh was the last pro who worked for Uchumi, all the others were nephews, sidekicks, etc.

Atul shah is the brain behind Nakumatt definately the resignation of TRM comes as a shock but it was not unexpected.

Given their recent strategic shift from Opening mega store to opening express shops in the estate its always prudent to Get a person who understands that market niche well.

TRM was probably brought to oversee the transformation of Nakumatt into a public owned company and since that wont be happening in the near future he opted to resign.

TRM was headhunted from Plastics & Rubber, an IPS (Aga Khan) company, where he was CEO

Never heard of that kampuni (Plastics & Rubber)...

Well, I am sure he helped sell their products in the Nakumatt stores (unless it was an unfriendly departure)

You are just a gusher of trivia!!! LOL...

Plastics & Rubber makes mainly bushes for motor vehicle and other machinery...unlikely to be selling much through Nakumatt...

@VituVingiSana I agree, what does Cicero mean that because Nakumatt deserves a demise because it is owned by a few people. That is like saying you bank with bank X because it is owned by a person from your community. You think they care who you are, look out for number one.
@All Atul Shah is the brains behind Tuskys.

People always look out for number one. Tribe is irrelevant!

Look at the customers of Ngenye Kariuki, Thuo or Nyaga...

@Sage. Le mi correct you with your indulgence. There is no cross shareholding between Nakumatt and Tuskys. Tuskys is owned by some Kamaus from Nakuru
