NBK Places Kenya Red Cross-Owned Boma Hotels Under Recievership
Kenya Comercial Bank’s NBK has placed the Kenya Red Cross owned Boma Hotels under receivership following huge debt. The affected include Boma Hotel Nairobi and Boma Inn Eldoret.
According to NBK’s financial reports, the last time the said businesses made profits was in 2011 with losses moving up to Ksh1.4 billion in just three years.
In a notice dated December 16, 2019, the management of NBK appointed PVR Rao as an administrator of the said properties.
“None of the directors, shareholders, employees and no other person is authorized to transact any business on behalf of the company without express written consent from the administrator,” read a notice from PVR Rao right after his appointment.
The then Abass Gullet led Kenya Red Cross has been making massive losses as the management alleged to have been manipulating books to cover the mess.
The organization confirmed the reports of receivership terming the current business environment in Kenya as difficult.
“Faced with these realities, the Red Court has gone into a process of administration,” the statement reads. Red Court was running the three hotels.
Boma Hotel in Nairobi was reportedly the hardest hit while Boma Inn Nairobi apparently has no pending loan.
“…It is our belief that this decision will return the hotels to a profitable path to continue to serve their intended purpose of generating income for the Society,” read the statement.
