The Standard Group Plc is a

Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
In 1934, on behalf of King George the V, the then governor Henry Conway Belfield signed an ordinance to provide for the removal and settlement of Laibons around Kericho, who were thought to be leading an anti-settler wave within that region. The 12 Laibons and their families were to be evicted from Kericho to Gwasi.
This was just a tip of the iceberg. Years before, three Kalenjin brothers thought to have a lot of influence within the Kipsigis community were exiled and jailed in three different locations, far away from their homelands. One was sent to Muranga, another to Meru and the third to Kisumu.
