Nakumatt Supermarket has suffered another blow after the Court of Appeal in Malindi dismissed an appeal challenging its eviction from a Mombasa mall over Sh27 million rent arrears.

Justices Daniel Musinga, Kairu Gatemu and Agnes Murgor upheld Environment and Lands Court Judge Charles Yano’s ruling, allowing Ideal Location Ltd to evict the struggling retailer from its premises at the Nyali City Mall.
