Stephen Mukuha, the Tuskys Director, passed away on Sunday, February 27, after spending a month in a coma at a hospital in Nairobi. At 64 years, however, Mukuha had rode the Tuskys supermarket wave from its heydays till the fortunes closed in on the retailer, forcing it to close almost all its outlets. “There’s a prayer I prayed many years ago that Tuskys would not be sold to foreigners, that Tuskys will be ours forever. It is a big thing for us to have Tuskys run by locals... regardless of colour,” he stated at the time. Mukuha, joined the company as a full time employee immediately after completing his high school education.
