It closed trading priced at Ksh.0.79 per share on NSE.

Uchumi Supermarket began the year with a share price of Ksh.0.17 and has since gained 365% on that price valuation, ranking it second on the NSE in terms of year-to-date performance.

According to Murugi Ndai, an economic analyst and CEO at ECOCAP Limited, leadership in equity speaks volume.

He says equity had visionary leadership backed by strong governance.

“This has fostered innovation and performance culture,” said Ndai.

But with regards to the entity itself, Ndai opined to “weak corporate governance that led to poor leadership that made poor decisions.”
