Carrefour, owned and operated by Majid Al Futtaim in Kenya, has opened another store at the Garden City Mall — its second on the bustling Nairobi-Thika highway.

The new store, which is open to the public now, will operate as a Carrefour Market, with a focus on stocking a wide range of food items and selected non-food items alongside small electrical appliances.

The new outlet gives customers living close to the mall access to its WhatsApp ordering service, allowing them to shop online and have their products delivered directly to their door.

In a further move to provide exceptional value and create tech-driven experiences for customers, Carrefour’s Click and Collect service — also accessed via WhatsApp — will be available from the new Garden City Mall location.

Through Click and Collect, customers gain the flexibility and convenience of shopping online and deciding when to collect their order at a time that suits their schedule.

Commenting on the new opening, Franck Moreau, Country Manager of Carrefour Kenya at Majid Al Futtaim Retail said: “We are constantly looking at ways to enhance the customer experience and bring Carrefour value to more in the community. We also know that with busy schedules, customers seek convenience now more than ever before. That’s precisely what we offer with the opening of our new Garden City Mall location — a community store at the heart of it all where customer can get all the essentials, effortlessly.”

Supporting the prosperity of the community, the Garden City Mall store will create both direct and indirect job opportunities for Kenyans by employing 100 people.

Additionally, in a boost to economic growth, the store presents new opportunities for local suppliers, producers, and farmers to forge partnerships and be part of Carrefour’s supply chain.

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi

Kenya Kwanza administration is committed to developing policy formulation mechanisms that prioritize growth, sustainability, and equity in all sectors of the economy.

At the people dialogue festival, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi emphasized the importance of productivity in government operations to achieve the country’s economic transformation agenda.

“We need policies that point towards prosperity, focusing on rationalizing available resources, prudent resource utilization, and directing resources to critical areas,” he stated.

Defending the government’s taxation policies, Mudavadi said, “Taxation is necessary for government operations, but it should not be punitive.” He encouraged Kenyans to demand accountability for their taxes usage.

PCS also highlighted the significance of dialogue, stating that it builds trust and political will for change.

He called for open and honest communication to understand each other’s perspectives and identify common ground.

“Kenya’s growth in the democratic space is applaudable,” Mudavadi said, urging the strengthening of political parties to build democracies.

He emphasized discussing the challenges facing the country’s economy, high cost of living, and drought, rather than sideshows brought out by some leaders.

The ANC party, led by new Party Leader Issa Timamy, has rejected UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala’s call to dissolve and join the William Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance party.

During a consultative meeting held in Lamu County, the party Council Bureau asserted that the ANC party will not merge with any other parties affiliated with the Kenya Kwanza coalition.

Timamy assured ANC’s support base that the party will not dissolve anytime soon and wondered why Malala is calling for parties to dissolve and join UDA when the ruling coalition is functioning smoothly.

He added that the ANC party will continue to play its role in the Kenya Kwanza coalition, supporting the President to deliver the coalition manifesto to Kenyans.

In a rally in Kisumu, UDA secretary general Cleophas Malala had stated that parties in the coalition should dissolve and work under UDA to have one center of power.

On Monday, Malala was named the new UDA SG, replacing Veronica Maina who is a nominated senator.

The change came as the party prepares for a massive recruitment drive and election of party officials.
