WoW Beverages, which distributes Jack Daniels whiskey in Kenya, has joined the petition claiming Sh15 million alongside Professional Marketing Services (PMS), food supplier Wazaran Limited and Nairobi Flour Mills which want to recover Sh30 million, Sh6 million and Sh3.7 million respectively.
The High Court last month allowed creditors to join the winding up suit filed by import and export firm San Giorgio Limited, since then attracting nine other suppliers who are seeking a total of nearly Sh300 million.
The three firms have joined San Giorgio Ltd, Kenblest Group, Githunguri Dairy, Kappa Oil, Insync Media, Star Times and Nairobi Flour Mills. Nairobi Bottlers Limited, which joined the suit last month, has now dropped out.
However, the Association of Kenya Suppliers has opposed the move, and joined the suit throwing its weight behind the troubled retailer– which owes its members a total of over Sh3 billion.
“Take notice that Nairobi Flour Mills, creditor for Sh3.7 million, intends to appear at the hearing of the petition to participate in such petition for a winding up order,” the miller says in court filings.
