NAIROBI, Kenya, July 22 – Sparetech Trading Company Limited has been placed under receivership after Imperial Bank Limited (In Liquidation) appointed a receiver and manager to take control of the company’s affairs as part of efforts to recover assets linked to the collapsed lender.
A notice issued under the Insolvency Act, 2015, shows that Kamal Anantroy Bhatt of Anant Bhatt LLP was appointed Receiver and Manager on April 17, 2026, with authority over the company’s business, assets and undertakings.
The appointment transfers control of the company from its directors to the receiver, who will oversee its operations and preserve assets on behalf of Imperial Bank.
“Following the Receiver’s appointment, the affairs and business of the company shall be directed by the Receiver. The powers of the Receiver extend to all assets and undertakings of the company.”
“Only the Receiver and his representatives are authorised to deal with assets of the Company. Creditors are invited to lodge their claim with the Receiver within the next 30 days.”
The notice warns that anyone who buys, sells, uses or otherwise deals with Sparetech Trading’s assets without the receiver’s written approval could face legal action.
The company’s directors have also been directed to submit a statement of affairs within 12 days, detailing its assets, liabilities and financial position.
Receivership allows a secured lender to take control of a borrower’s assets when loan obligations are not met, with the aim of preserving value and recovering outstanding debts.
The move is part of Imperial Bank’s ongoing asset recovery process following its collapse in 2015. The lender, now in liquidation, has been pursuing defaulting borrowers to maximise recoveries for depositors and other creditors.
The receiver has directed all creditors and interested parties to submit their claims within 30 days of the notice.
