The salon was put up for auction over rent arrears.
In a public notice published in the dailies, Keysian Auctioneers said items on the premises will be sold by public auction on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, in the case presented by the landlord.
Taking to her socials to address the issue she said the current economic climate was not conducive for businesses.
“Running a business in Kenya has become so difficult. Landlords don’t want to reduce rent and it becomes a huge burden on businesses that are struggling because of the economic slowdown,” Kyallo said.
