Former employees of troubled retailer Nakumatt could find relief after seven of their colleagues opened a supermarket in Kisumu.

The new supermarket, Lemigo Holdings, which opens its doors at Kondele in two weeks, is expected to draw its workforce from former Nakumatt staff rendered jobless after the closure of many branches, including a 24-hour outlet in Kisumu.
