Twiga Foods built a Kenyan distribution business connecting farmers and food suppliers with small shops and kiosks. Now GT Flow Limited, formerly Twiga Foods One Limited, is under administration. Techeconomy reports that a September 11 Gazette notice disclosed the August 17 appointment of Mohamed Mohamed, who controls the entity’s business and assets. Directors need his permission to transact with those assets.
The retailer-facing software shows the everyday task Twiga set out to simplify: replenishing stock. Its Soko Yetu app lets users place orders, review deliveries and make payments, according to Twiga’s Google Play listing. Those functions bring purchasing and the records around a delivery into one interface, connecting the shopkeeper’s order with the physical distribution business.
Twiga subsequently broadened the goods and geographic networks behind that interface. Business Daily reported in April 2025 that it acquired majority stakes in Jumra, Sojpar and Raisons. Their businesses extended beyond fresh produce into categories including household products, personal care and stationery, with regional operations spanning Nairobi and Central Kenya, the west and the coast.
The acquisitions also changed the intended division of work. In the announcement reported by Business Daily, Twiga said Jumra and Sojpar officials would lead operations while it concentrated resources on supporting technology. The strategy paired established distributors’ local networks with Twiga’s analytics, making the organization of deliveries as central to the proposition as the ordering software.
That overhaul followed repeated financial strain. Condia reports that Twiga arranged a $35 million bond deal in late 2023 to help pay suppliers, then pursued a restructuring that included outsourcing operations and substantial layoffs. It temporarily suspended Nairobi operations in June 2025 as part of that overhaul. The earlier capital and restructuring efforts provide context for the administration; they do not represent fresh funding.
The boundary of the proceeding matters for retailers awaiting stock and suppliers awaiting payment. Techeconomy reports that the notice does not establish whether Jumra, Sojpar or Raisons are affected. The practical question is which distribution operations can keep fulfilling orders while the administrator addresses GT Flow’s obligations.
