GT Flow Enters Administration as Twiga’s Distribution Rebuild Faces Setback

GT Flow Limited, formerly Twiga Foods One Limited, has entered administration as efforts to rebuild Twiga’s distribution network face fresh uncertainty. The company had been linked to a plan to combine regional distributors with Twiga’s technology and ordering platform.

Mohamed Mohamed has taken control of GT Flow’s assets and management. However, a Gazette notice does not specify which assets are covered or whether they include interests linked to Kimo Kali Holdings. Kimo Kali Holdings was incorporated by Twiga Holdings to acquire three regional FMCG distributors. It received regulatory approval in May 2025 to take direct control of the businesses.

The companies involved were Jumra Limited in Nairobi and Central Kenya. Sojpar Limited covered Western Kenya, while Raisons Distributors Limited operated at the Coast. Twiga planned to combine their warehouses, fleets and procurement relationships. It also intended to link their regional networks with its technology and digital ordering platform.

The Competition Authority’s reported decision said the acquisitions could reduce logistics costs. They were also expected to improve delivery times and expand distribution into underserved markets.

However, GT Flow’s administration does not automatically place the three distributors under administration. Jumra, Sojpar and Raisons remain separate legal entities, so they can continue operating unless their own finances are affected.

Their position could nevertheless change if GT Flow has ownership interests in them. This could also happen if GT Flow guarantees their obligations or provides services and funding on which they depend.

The administration therefore raises questions about the wider Twiga-linked distribution structure. At the same time, the available notice does not establish whether the three distributors form part of GT Flow’s assets.

The development comes after Twiga sought to strengthen its distribution model through regional acquisitions. GT Flow’s administration now adds uncertainty to that restructuring effort, although the separate legal status of the distributors means their operations are not automatically affected.
