On Monday, February 28 this year, Kenyans got a rare and embarrassing peep into the lives of the secretive family that runs Tuskys, one of the region’s biggest and most successful supermarket chains.
On that day, Stephen Mukuha Kamau, the managing director of Tuskys, appeared before Chief Magistrate Esther Maina to answer charges that he had beaten Yusuf Mugweru Kamau, his younger brother, in full view of shocked employees at the headquarters of their family business in Embakasi. Mr Mukuha denied the charges. He also refused to comment for this story.
