A liquor store operator is seeking Sh4.5 million compensation from Uchumi Supermarkets, claiming he was ejected from the retailer’s Lang’ata Hyper branch to pave the way for China Square without notice and against a court injunction.
Dominic Mwangi, who was operating a liquor store under Grand Liquor Suppliers & Esteem Gas Supplies, says in court papers, Uchumi disregarded a May 8 court order, stopping it from leasing out the 100,000 square feet space pending the hearing of a suit in which he claimed to have been unlawfully removed from the premises.
