The owner of the company had raised the issue with the General Manager of Tuskys over a month ago but nothing was done leading to auctioning of their assets.
The owner states that he now has ‘nothing to lose’. This is to regrettably inform you that the last bit of our company has been auctioned by family bank this morning and so far I have nothing more to lose. You have refused to respond to any of our communications and remained non-committal to our payments since the last time over a month ago when your Mr. Leonard Mupalia informed us that all our pending documents were submitted to the GM for final approval. I regret very much this is happening’, the letter forwarded to nyakundireport.com states
