He had been overrated.

I once attended one of his motivational talks and I felt he was a wanna be of some sort . His examples were quite idealistic yet hevwanted to pass them as real and relating to him.

There was nothing out of the ordinary.

I watched him speak once and in the Q&A. He was actually advocating for overhauling of all middle to senior management in cases where a business is not doing well. Thereafter I thought he must have been a real @$$.

After he turned around a failing Uchumi, he should have made a succession plan and left. The personality of this kind of leaders who turns a business around (making some seemingly harsh decisions in the process) is not the kind of guy you want at the helm when the plan is growth.

Ciano is a brilliant man.He is a great strategist but poor in operations.He should have left after turning around Uchumi.Uchumi is still run as a parastatal.Things have changed and there is competition all over but Uchumi never adjusted to the changes in the environment.In fact small supermarkets like Maathai are now taking over uchumi's market share.
The supermarket is boring and doesnt attract the yolung generation.They need to hire some young guys who will inject the energy required.They also need to stop investing in Longterm assets which is unstrategic.They need to learn from Nakumatt which is the largest leasing company in East Africa.Lease your assets and use the cash to purchase the inventory.
Hutia Mundu!!

Kenyans are funny. Why are you rushing to sell Uchumi now? Let me give you an African analogy. If your cow has been sick and after several doctors you still dint know whats ailing your cow. You probably will start looking for someone to buy it at a throw away price. But Suddenly the disease is properly diagnosed and treatment started. Wouldnt you change your mind and wait as there is now hope that your cow will be healed and will be worth more in a few months? Tafakari hayo!
