Home To Bold Columnists
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.

Indeed, some commentators have termed them busy-bodies, top-heavy and a drain on the Exchequer.
