Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>In a bold but controversial move, Kenyan agritech company Twiga Foods has acquired majority stakes in three local distributors\u2014Jumra, Sojpar, and Raisons\u2014as it accelerates its transition from a supplier of farm-fresh produce to a full-service fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) platform. While this move signals Twiga\u2019s ambition to solidify its position as Kenya\u2019s leading B2B e-commerce player, it comes amid swirling allegations of corporate restructuring designed to circumvent financial obligations.<\/b><\/p>\n

In an official announcement, Twiga Foods confirmed it had taken controlling interests in Nairobi-based Jumra, Kisumu\u2019s Sojpar, and Mombasa\u2019s Raisons. These acquisitions are expected to bolster Twiga\u2019s procurement capabilities and extend its national presence across the Central, Western, and Coastal regions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis strategic alignment highlights Twiga\u2019s commitment to modernizing Kenya\u2019s food distribution landscape,\u201d the company said in a statement. \u201cThe combined strengths will enable a digitally powered distribution model that delivers enhanced value to Kenyan retailers and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Twiga did not disclose the transaction values, the company emphasized that the acquired distributors would retain leadership roles in the newly consolidated operation. The company also indicated it would resume its previously suspended operations in Western Kenya\u2014an area it had withdrawn from in 2021 following a major business model overhaul.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2014, Twiga Foods quickly rose to prominence as one of Africa\u2019s most promising agritech ventures, gaining global recognition for its digital approach to streamlining food supply chains between farmers and informal retailers. With backing from investors including Goldman Sachs, IFC, and Creadev, Twiga raised over $160 million through several funding rounds.<\/p>\n

However, its trajectory has been far from smooth in recent years. In 2023, the company executed sweeping layoffs, cutting its workforce by 40% amid reports of delayed vendor payments and unpaid staff salaries. Its founding CEO, Peter Njonjo, stepped down in early 2024 following a $35 million fundraising round, handing leadership to Charles Ballard, a former Jumia Kenya executive, who vowed to lead the company toward operational stability and profitability.<\/p>\n

Despite these leadership changes and strategic realignments, concerns about Twiga\u2019s financial health persist.<\/p>\n

A bombshell report by local tech publication Tech-ish has cast a shadow over Twiga\u2019s recent moves. Citing internal whistleblower documents and presentation slides, the report claims the company is actively engineering a soft liquidation strategy\u2014restructuring operations under a newly incorporated entity referred to internally as \u201cNewCo.\u201d<\/p>\n

The leaked materials describe a detailed plan, dubbed \u201cProject Easter,\u201d allegedly aimed at shutting down the current business structure while transferring key assets, contracts, and a small number of staff into the new company. The restructuring plan, set to take effect by August 2025, purportedly includes<\/p>\n

Licensing the Twiga brand and customer database to NewCo<\/p>\n

Abandoning its current lease at Tatu City for a more modest location in Syokimau<\/p>\n

Using third-party logistics providers (3PLs) to manage warehousing and supply<\/p>\n

Rehiring only 10\u201312 employees from the current 435-person workforce<\/p>\n

The whistleblower claims this restructuring is designed to allow Twiga to avoid significant obligations\u2014including commercial leases, employee severance packages, and unpaid vendor bills\u2014while continuing operations under a new corporate identity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve fired most of the staff, gutted salaries, and bled the company dry,\u201d the whistleblower wrote in the anonymous letter. \u201cThe only remaining anchor is the lease. Their new round of funding is contingent on solving it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The allegations go beyond financial engineering. The whistleblower paints a picture of a deeply fractured workplace culture, citing micromanagement, operational inefficiency, and alleged racial bias in hiring practices. According to the letter, senior Kenyan professionals have been marginalized in favor of foreign\u2014mainly French\u2014executives, some of whom allegedly lack the experience or credentials to hold their roles.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles is running a shell held together by underpaid labor and fear,\u201d the whistleblower wrote, adding that despite the company\u2019s strong funding history, \u201cTwiga remains stuck in a manual, outdated grind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tech-ish notes that, while it cannot independently verify all claims, many elements of the leaked internal documents align with prior reports, including Twiga\u2019s funding rounds, layoffs, and structural changes.<\/p>\n

Twiga\u2019s recent acquisitions are part of a wider trend in Kenya\u2019s digital commerce and agritech sectors, where companies are diversifying their revenue streams amid tightening capital markets and rising operational costs. However, the method and timing of Twiga\u2019s moves\u2014coupled with the allegations of financial evasion and questionable governance\u2014are raising red flags among stakeholders.<\/p>\n

As the company integrates Jumra, Sojpar, and Raisons into its operations, questions remain about the fate of its former employees, the legal implications of its restructuring plans, and the credibility of its new leadership.<\/p>\n

Despite Twiga\u2019s stated mission to digitize and democratize food distribution in Africa, the road ahead may depend less on its strategic ambitions and more on whether it can restore trust among staff, suppliers, and investors alike.<\/p>\n
