Former world 3,000 metres steeplechase champion Moses Kiptanui has opened a new Tulin Supermarket branch in Eldoret. The new store brings the total to four in the retail chain’s stable; two in Eldoret, one at Kachibora and another one in Kitale.

“This is our fourth branch after many years of trying to catch up (with other retailers).

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Kiptanui said, businesses have not grown as expected.
