The government is planning to sell its stake in Uchumi Supermarkets Limited (NASE:UCHM), once its ongoing bailout and restructuring plans are stabilized. Trade Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo yesterday said the shareholding exit will come after the government recoups taxpayers’ funds pumped into the company over the years. Uchumi is in talks with a strategic partner to pump in fresh capital after years of struggle supported by Treasury bailouts and debt restructuring.
