President William Ruto's Senior Economic Adviser, Moses Kuria, has castigated the Nairobi County government for ordering the closure of Naivas Supermarket, stressing that this will attract some serious economic repercussions.
In a statement on his official X account on Wednesday, May 14, Kuria stated that the Nairobi Health Committee's move to order the closure of the supermarket will create an unfavourable environment for investors in the country's capital and the country at large.
Additionally, Kuria has further stressed that the closure of the retailer, which is one of the largest in the country, will further play a key role in denying Kenyans jobs. "We will not create jobs when county governments wake up and close Naivas and Carrefour arbitrarily.
You don't attract investors by acting whimsical," he stated.
