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.
The National Youth Service (NYS), one of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s pet projects since he rose to power in 2013, has been unravelling lately, with serious allegations of impropriety that has led to the loss of over Sh791 million.
The other pet projects are the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) and the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) line that has also run into headwinds over matters of land on which it is to be laid. Some communities along the projected route of the railway line are demanding unrealistic compensation. This will likely slow down the progress on the line.
