Troubled Uchumi Supermarkets has lost a court battle over a long-running land ownership dispute with the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), dealing a blow to the retailer’s financial turnaround plans.
The High Court has allowed the military to take over a 17-acre prime parcel of land in Kasarani, near the Thika Superhighway, which had been central to the recovery of the retailer fighting off a winding up petition.
