Debt-ridden retail chain Uchumi Supermarkets Ltd has received a reprieve after the High Court issued orders preventing its landlord in Jogoo Nairobi from evicting it from the building.

Justice Alfred Mabeya on Wednesday directed Townsville Holdings Limited not to “evict or harass the retail shop in any way whatsoever” until further orders of the court, although the tenancy lease has since expired.
