- Like a retail version of a deadly pandemic, misfortunes have in recent years struck Kenya’s top level supermarkets sector, claiming the life of the country’s and regional biggest chain Nakumatt in 2018. At the time of the collapse of nakumatt, the second largest chain Tuskys supermarket held all the promise to become Kenya’s next dominant force in the retail industry. But that was never to be. Tonight, Tuskys supermarket teeters on the brink of a total collapse similar to Nakumatt. On special assignment, Citizen TV’s Waihiga Mwaura dives deep into the 30-year old dream of Mzee Joram Kamau that is now staggering under the burden of debt and mismanagement.
Someone once said, it takes years and decades to build up generational wealth, but it only takes one greedy family member to destroy it all.what a shame!
Facts. Watoto wanaeza kumaliza
The C.E.O knows something that the family doesn't know.
The other day, Tuskys was trying to rescue Nakumatt.
Kindly bring part 2 and expose the 2 MAIN PEOPLE BEHIND THIS FALL AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY OWN, DIRECTOR Stephen MUKUHA AND CEO dan GITHUA, they should be very ashamed
Greed and lack of discipline from the sons brought down this chain.Quite unfortunate.
Generational wealth need good guidance because greedy kids within. And extended families can cause trouble
Yusuf seems to be wise
Sad indeed 😢
down sizing is still a good strategy if taken positively.... the owners should contact good biz consultants
Exactly
You guys really rub in the salt, " the supermarket was lying on its death bed"
,😂
Very sad
Loop pp
The problem with us Africans when we struggle when we were kids when we get wealth we spoil our kids we don’t teach them how and the important of keeping the wealth we just want them to inherit we should learn from Indians and generation wealth
Wow! Stealing from themselves? They truly didn't deserve their father. So shameful.
two siblings stealing from what belongs to the family.
You work so hard usiku na mchana to raise such big company alafu watoto wenye waliachiwa nita ngoma
Very true....james nakuona tu .. still asking ama active commenters hulipwa kama other youtubers....u win🤣🤣🤣
@@rachaelkinyua7453 😂😂😂😂nakuona ukipita pita huku uko ajy
Ngoma piu!!
Siblings rivalry and greed destroyed tuskys
Exactly
sins of the FATHERS!
Greed can bring down an empire within a minute, its sad indeed
Kenyans need to learn from this reporter that you can be heard with a mask correctly worn. You don’t need to hang it on your chin/neck just because you are talking!
We even remove mask just to hear what someone is saying 🤗🤗🤗

Ooh My Goodness this Comment oooh😂😂😂
I will miss furniture window shopping at Tuskys..
Hehehe I've always done that at tuskys buruburu. Those furniture blowed my mind. Will miss this too
"an inheritance gained hastily at the beginning will not be blessed at the end" proverbs 20 :21.
That is not true.What of Nakumatt,was it gained hastily?
Better you,youre fighting for the wealth while others are fighting what to put on table
waeke vibandaski za hotdog zao msee😂😂❤️tutashukuru
Father of 9 !!!! He should have for seen it. There is bound to be discord when you are rich and have many kids
I really hope to see Naivas stand in their place. It's my closest retail shop
No way, maybe quickmatt
11 months later naivas is headed there
Does it really matter whether the company is operating or dead? The owners will still remain millionaires.
True
To students of entrepreneurship, it does!!
You seem to miss the purpose of the exposé!
@@davidonyango596 hehehe, such business models were never to last, they are obsolete whether the expose is there or not.
ukweli. Wenye wanaumia ni suppliers na bankers. The supermarket owners have made their money
Yes it matters alot, I have a brother who lost his job na ako na familia ndogo..
I so much admire how waihiga does his reports...wish I could be like him
Ata uko na jina ya reporter wallai
Thank you
You can.🙌
Be urself
Elsie success is your Portion! I speak a blessing into your life...
Thankyou for complimenting him.
God bless you
I'm shocked, naivas is now the leading supermarket in Kenya? When I was there 10 years back , it was nakumatt followed by tuskys and now both of those have followed uchumi to the ground. In those days naivas was more of a poor people's shopping place, I hope they still are and I wish them prosperity.
Waihiga Mwaura is something else!I watch this report over and over because of this G.O.A.T
wacha jokes ,Just coz you recently started using the words GOAT doesn't mean you get to use it anyhowly Calling Waihiga the GOAT is an insult to the Investigative likes of Moha Ali, John Allan & Onkari
That's their choice to call who they resonate with the G.O.A.T.
@@Gikash Umesahau akina Jeff Koinange
Brilliant investigative work by Citizen TV. Outstanding by Wahiga Mwaura.
Na venye I had lots of tuskys bonus points 😭😂😂😂machoos
Someone helped out by advising me to make use of the points....
I think this is just a sign of the collapsing economy. More to come. We have wasted the last 10 years on Jubilee aka KANU nonsesense and now we are seeing the results...really hard times may be coming our way.
Hawa watoto ni ng'ombe sana
What I learn from this is that A family business is successive when done in unity but when they separate,,,it falls
"The country's retail Silicon Valley: Nakuru County." I like it.❤
"a friend loves at all times. And a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17.
Sibling doesn't mean child of. It means brother or sister. Kiswahili equivalent is ndugu
He is right he means the siblings like the whole of them..bro jua kizungu mzuri
@@kingvinmo130 sibling to mean child of? Siblings of Joram Kamau cannot mean children of Joram Kamau. It means brothers & sisters of Joram! From 9.55
Citizen needs to get the views of all the other 6 siblings..
Did they get their nephew released from jail? There was a story from the Tuskys family in Nakuru at Inooro TV. Maybe the tears of that Widow is haunting them who knows😒
Very true
Ooh yer nakumbuka .karma
apana huyu jamaa alikua kijana wa mtoi wa mwenye NAIVAS sio tuskys
@@TeacherNyoks5258 that's the nephew of the tusky siblings
@@eddahwambui1306 alikua nephew wa wenye naivas...c hio story iko you tube...njera ini citu na simon kibe
Sad. My first official employer.
In short: corruption within killed the business
The fish rot from the head, The employees followed their bosses art of stealing. I once went to Nakumatt Kisumu to buy a fridge , The attendant was so eager to sell me a more expensive LG fridge but with the price of the little one I had chosen only if I added some 5 k for his pocket. The expensive one was going for 28k and I wanted the 16k one. I refused and tried to make him understand , that he is stealing from his employer and when the company goes down, he will be jobless. All I got was , "wewe si mjanja . that was 2014 , I went to tuskys in 2017 , still in Kisumu and this time nilikuwa na buy mattress , Same carrot was dangled to me and I repeated the same , this time the guy was like HATA HII NI KUANGUKA INAANGUKA , I felt defeated .
Exit tuskys enter Quickmatt
True...and quickmart has come with better facilities and looks more mordern....hopefully they'll stay longer
Bad times create good men, good men create good times, good times create bad times.
And the cycle continues
@@reservedartist1141 yep. Unfortunately
Greedy siblings without thinking about tomorrow!
Classical drama of high school leavers. How can they undo that now and put the business on foot again?
Not possible.. It only helps to be an example to others with ambitions to grow family and generational wealth. Make foolproof plan for generational handover..
Shida aliachia mali watoto wote kuliko kuwapa kila moja supermarket yake ata mtu akishindwa kuendesha supermarket yake atomlaumu yeyote zaidi ya nafsi yake
True
Supermarket branches operate as a unit and their assets are under one ambrella, huwezi gawanyisha kampuni hivo
@@anngathogo3610 but now luk at where the company is it's collapsing it can't even pay it's worker.
@@alfanm.8221 its because of greed. Those directors have taken their millions and invested them individually. Division of wealth does not count here
i hope Naivas learn from them.....
they are related the owners of naivas are cousins to tuskeys my dad used to work with them as an engineer after pulling out in 2014...
@@alexidage2647 why cant the cousins take over Tuskys
@@AnnKanini they said naivas has a partner who refused the bailout of tuskys due to conflict of interests of being relatives
I wonder to revive tuskys can the brothers agree to each run different regional stores ?
This is why family business do not usually last more than three generations
You mean, family businesses 'in Kenya'... because of the kienyeji way in which we run them.
But once a company gets into public, they get shareholders and thus should be more rooted and firm. The collapse may be more dye to other issues and not covid lock down. Management is to blame.
They went public and realized they could steal millions of dollars. They should have remain private.
Poor management and greed will always cost Kenyan firms. Tuskys would have easily dominated the Kenyan market by 2022
I feel bad for the employees
We as Kenyans need to stop running our family businesses in a kienyeji manner. Its high time we implemented corporate professionalism in the way we do things, otherwise generational wealth is squandered within one generation.
Also, can Citizen tv do a feature on what makes Nakuru the Silicon Valley of retail business - is it the environment, the culture of the people there.. that would be very insightful to know.
Good documentary but it's bad to assume everyone speaks swahili. Add English subs for swahili interviews
Swahili is the national language of Kenya and Citizen TV which is a KENYAN tv channel is targeted to Kenyans. It is either you learn the language or stop complaining.
Children should learn to respect their parents always either poor or rich they should and must maintain the respect to their parents....Sad how some people allows themselves to be guided by money and later results to greed and finally to a tremendous fall.
Huyu Yousef ni Mkora...he should be blamed for the fall of Tuskys.
Why do you say that, he seems a good person. The other siblings are the ones doing all sorts of unconventional deals.
Just my opion
The greed towards the siblings has dropped Tuskeys down
Then as a parent it was good if the father leave them each their own part of business if it fails there will be no these courts and going down thing
Aki wanaziua.......nakumatt ilikufa ivo sai ni tuskys..
You mean hakunanga nakumatt siku hizi?
The only person who managed to run a successful Supermarket in Kenya was a man called Mr Suresh Shah. He was given responsibility to run Uchumi Supermarkets when it was in debt back in the 1970’s. He turned around the company and made it into an icon during his reign but after he left it is history. Hard work and talented and last thing luck. To run a successful business any where is focus and hard work and above all trust by all the stack holders including customers, staffs, suppliers, and financiers.
Good luck comes at the bottom.
And some people are blaming the Govt! Blame those greedy siblings
Supermarket haina hata soda
Wacha soda, chumvi hakuna
Part 2 iko?
They dont look thieves,,maybe maa bro na ma dada wa kenya conn,conn like moles..be careful when you grow big you get exposed to the eye of the enemy '"friends"'be careful when itss soo rosey
Ni huku tuskys ndio mlionza kutulisha strange meat
When will suppliers and staff be paid??
It’s already under liquidation so most probably they have agreed to a payment plan.
However, the employees may not be as lucky in getting their wages.
They expanded too fast....where have I heard that before🤔
Quick mart. Calf being fattened for slaughter.
Expansion is not a problem. There are way larger supermarket chains all around the world. The problem with expansion is opening a new branch in a location which is not profitable
@@kingmatolo8381 It's also mismanagement, trivial politics, lack of accountability, pilfering etc
@@kingmatolo8381 when you expand with money that you are suppose to pay suppliers? You award family members with supplying tenders at favourable prices but when the goods hits the shelves the prices must be marketable like other retailers
@@BrianNderu Is QuickMart Kenyan owned???
It’s because of such nonsense that the rest of us find it difficult to attain credit facilities. Loans are granted by banks who are fully aware that the business will default.
I feel for the employees they may never be paid
Where's the link to Part-2 please?
Thanks i got it. Nice report
If the dad had invested in real estate,maybe this culdnt have happened,sad that families fight themselves and bring each other down in such a manner.
The type of business is not the issue..... The issue is who is running the business... This is more about siblings rivalry and greed.
True but i think it dse matter.with real estate its way different they can steal and squender the money but the building will still provide cash for the entire generation,anyway greed in family members is very dengerous i hope they dnt reach a point of killing each other.
In uganda tuskys is history
Greed is a bad thing.
Sad
Mwimba wa kujindunga huonewi huruma....let them fall so others can raise
ITS THE POOR FARMER WHO END UP MAKING LOSES LIKE MILK CO TEA CO POOR VEGETABLES SUPPLIER WHICH RULE SHOULD BE PUT TO CURB CORUPTION MUNGU SAIDIA THE POOR SUPPLIERS WHO BORROWED MONEY TO SUPPLY
A one man vision would be a good one for employees but not good to those who grew around it,,, take it from me did you see one of their family members crying their business is going to be closed? No, why they were mamas girls n boys jeshi ya raha na sio majabu wamehamisha ma bibi na watoto wao wenyewe hawako pamoja.
parents are not teaching their kids to work munawawacha wakule tu without working.when they pass they expect those same kids to take over and not to run the business to the ground how seriously they only know how to eat not to work poleni sana wazazi but you are raising a failing generation
It’s just the culture of Kenya. Those in power plunder all they can with no regard to consequences
Saddddd
Can employers be jailed for not paying their employees due to gross misconduct?
This is sad
You Are cute
@@DjLiyayiCashvevo you mean am cute,okay thank you
Citizen clearly needs an investigative reporter with oomph.

Seems so 😏
Kirio ya bibi ya one of the late founder ndio inawafuata she has been crying for justice for her sons and she lives in total poverty 😢
The victims of the scam of these Groups of Supermarkets are the suppliers and employees, if you are one kama Hotpoint pole sana......and if your still supplying the remaining TWO, the trend is the same, wembe ni ule ule, cut your losses and run.
Jack of all...finishing retailers..nimukuoonaa iciiii life like moles eat slowly with the pen then alas the tree falls with a bangh...muruuruumoo..
This is the season,no supermarkets surely.
What😰
They were only able to manage each one station not several complicated ventures...
Shida ya Tuskys ni juu hawakuwa wanauza Pomber, Liquor sells, hio deni ingeisha,
Stupid
ooooo my so sad.
These Kikuyus even steal from themselves you can imagine what they do to the government of Kenya coffers .
INTRODUCITON EDITOR WAIHIGA MWAURA WOULD YOU PROVIDE THE LINK TO THE ONE WHO DIDTHAT LETTER SOUND EFFECT . I WOULD BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM YOU.
Nakumatt was eaten and so will be tuskys bad choices and looking for unhealthy competition
Why do their pics look like mug shots 🤣😅
There was a video posted tuskys sister and brother fighting
