Before me is a petition for voluntary liquidation of the company ELDORET MATTRESSES LIMITED (the company). The petition is filed by the Directors of the company, namely, Milankumar Somchand Karniya and Kailesh Somchand. They are the only two Directors of the Company. The petition was certified ready for hearing by the Deputy Registrar on 12 th November 2018. 2. The Directors passed a resolution on 24 th September 2018 to seek liquidation of the company. They also resolved, on that date, that the Official Liquidator be appointed as Liquidator of the company. 3. In the petition, it is stated that the company’s assets total Kshs. 93,100,000 while its debts total Kshs. 271,970,570.50.
