Troubled retail chain Nakumatt’s proposed merger with rival Tuskys Supermarkets was yesterday facing a major regulatory hurdle after it emerged that the two top retailers had not sought the competition watchdog’s approval as required by law.

Nakumatt, which is Kenya’s largest retail chain by number of outlets and Tuskys, the second largest, are yet to make public financial details of the proposed merger that was announced yesterday.
