The retailer was just opening branch after branch by piling debt. It chose to grow at other people’s expense,” said the official who asked for anonymity.
According to the source, Nakumatt owes suppliers Sh15 billion. Ten commercial banks are also on its neck, seeking to recover Sh8 billion and it has also soaked in an additional debt to the tune of Sh7 billion in commercial paper.

A senior Government official has laid bare the extent of Nakumatt Supermarket’s financial woes, revealing the retailer is reeling under a Sh30 billion debt.

This makes the recovery of the regional retail chain, whose debt position in the public domain has been put at Sh18 billion, more tasking.

our insolvency laws are quite adequate to deal with nakumatt's issues. We have the equivalent of chapter 11 called the voluntary arrangement which also allows for moratoria on debt payment. The creditors and shareholders sit together and agree on a restructuring plan to keep the business alive and the creditors get paid over time. But of course all we want is a govt bail outsmile smile

Do the banks protect themselves against a default by requiring security e.g a title deed when lending to SuperMarkets who in principle don't own the supermarket premises or any of their stock?

When it's a big name in a "safe" industry, the banks tend to be lax in their collateral requirements(similar case is currently happening with Etisalat Nigeria). Add to that the fact that at this level, even if there is security the banks will take a huge loss in liquidation. There's that old saying, "if I owe the bank one million, I'm in trouble, but if I owe the bank one billion, they are in trouble."

According to this report:

http://www.businessdaily...6908-99eg83z/index.html

Nakumatt was making 850m annual PBT in its heyday but after the crazy expansion they are now making "only" 350m annual PBT.

How is 350m annually supposed to service an 18b debt to suppliers who need their money urgently? This company will become a neglected zombie like Uchumi cause soon all the profits will be servicing the debt.

Nairobi — Regional retailer Nakumatt Holdings' workers took to the streets across the country protesting over unpaid salaries.

Workers in the retailers' branches in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Machakos are also alleging mistreatment by their employer.

The workers say that they have been forced to live miserable lives, while others being kicked out of their rented houses for failing to pay rent arrears.
