\nAfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Troubled Tuskys has tapped an ex-Uchumi executive for its top finance job as part of turnaround efforts.<\/p>\n

Tuskys has since last year operated with an acting CFO after the previous one Daniel Ndirangu resigned in December.<\/p>\n

Tusker Mattresses chief executive Dan Githua said that Mr Chadwick Omondi Okumu would bring an \u201cextensive retail experience\u201d into the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are introducing Chadwick Omondi Okumu who is joining us as a chief finance officer. He has a 16 years of experience in increasingly responsible roles in diverse industries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe brings with him extensive retail experience having worked for\u00a0Uchumi Supermarkets\u00a0as the head of finance for eight years,\u201d said Githua to staff.<\/p>\n

Has also worked for Reckitt Benckiser East Africa as head of finance operations, Celtel Kenya as strategic planning manager and Keroche Breweries as chief finance officer.<\/p>\n

On top of sacking 1000 workers, the retailer has seen an exodus of top bosses including in supply chain officials, branch managers and a top security official over reasons varying from delayed pay and the future of Kenya\u2019s second largest supermarket chain.<\/p>\n

The family-owned retailer\u00a0is in the weakest financial position of all the country\u2019s supermarkets, reeling from debt running into billions of shillings owed to suppliers, staff and landlords.<\/p>\n

It said it had acquired a Sh2billion facility from an offshore fund to keep afloat and has already received Sh500 million as part of the first tranche.<\/p>\n

At the end of last month, the High Court gave the troubled retailer 45 days to pay millions owed to creditors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
