NAIROBI, Kenya, Jun 20 – Africa Spirits Limited (ASL), an alcoholic beverage company owned by businessman Humphrey Kariuki, has officially been placed under administration following financial distress and operational difficulties.
According to a public notice issued on Friday, Peter Kahi of PKF Consulting (K) Limited has been appointed as the administrator of Africa Spirits Limited (ASL), effective June 17, 2025.
With this development, all powers over the company’s assets and operations have been transferred to the administrator.
