When it rains, it pours! But surely, why would they give 12 cheques to one supplier knowing very well that they will all bounce???
BBI will solve it :)

My suspicion is that the under-stocked branches are what Nakumatt will downsize on and they probably just letting the lease run out and current stock sell out before announcing closure of those branches. There was some #fakeNews of branches to be closed and TRM was one of them. TRM probably already suspecting Nakumatt is getting out and wants to cut its losses.

You could be right, but I believe that the company as a whole is in trouble.. It may not be just a TRM issue

Embakasi they are relocating to the adjacent South Field mall Westlands most probably will be UKay they will be shutting down.

TRM, through Moran Auctioneers, seized a number of Nakumatt’s assets, including six moving trucks, 400 customer trolleys, office furniture, ovens and other electrical appliances, forcing the retailer to rush to court for an order temporarily suspending the auction. Waah free fall... Rent lazima walipe.. Hope the court hears none of the nonsense Kifo cha nyani moment...TRM does not want to be caught up with Section 472 and 481 Quote:If a person (whether or not a landlord or person entitled to rent) has distrained on the property of the company during the three months immediately preceding the date of the liquidation order, that property, or the proceeds of its sale, is charged for the benefit of the company with the preferential debts of the company to the extent that the company's assets are for the time being insufficient to satisfy them. Quote:the creditor is not entitled to retain the benefit of the execution or attachment against the liquidator unless the creditor has completed the execution or attachment before the commencement of the liquidation Sad that this monkey is another victim of the interest rate cap it can't access credit to keep it running. Other monkey firms will go down with this monkey. Credit runs the economy, if Nakumatt of all companies is being denied credit, what about Simo wa carwash or Jane wa Abuja braids Let's not bring Jubilee into this matter. Nakumatt is where it is because of poor debt management. You want them to seek more debt to pay off bad debt? Business would become insolvent before the year is out.

Woie!!! Auctioneers are crazy. What are they going to do with 11 packets of KCC Delight Yogurt and 400 shopping trolleys??
This is going to get ugly because I hear Nakumatt actually does not own anything in its stores. The inventory belongs to the suppliers who are paid after goods are sold. All shelves in the store and other tools of trade including I suspect the shopping trolleys and fridges are leased from third parties, premises are all rented so the only thing that Nakumatt owns is the name Nakumatt.
