Regional retail chain Nakumatt Supermarket employees have joined the list of creditors and entities seeking legal redress over the company’s failure to meet its financial obligations.

The employees, through the Kenya Union of Commercial, Food and Allied Workers (KUCFAW), have moved to court accusing Nakumatt of delaying their salaries, failing to pay them for overtime worked as well as non-implementation of the 11 per cent salary increase from May 1, 2017 as agreed in a collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
