Tuskys to retrench 37 after closure of Ukwala stores [Nation (Kenya)](Nation (Kenya) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Tuskys Supermarket is set to retrench 37 of its employees in what it attributes to the closure of its Tom Mboya and Ronald Ngala branches in Nairobi's central business district. The retailer says it has so far been unable to re-open the two branches after they were closed on August 4 following an order by the Competition Authority of Kenya (CAK). "We are no longer in a position to continue offering employment to 37 of the staff working at the premises and we intend to terminate their services on account of redundancy on October 4," Tuskys wrote to its workers' union on September 3. Human resource manager Francis Kimani added in the letter that the firm has made every effort to have the closed branches reopened, but with no success. CLICK HERE for the full report.
