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.
When it was unveiled in 2011, the Tom Mboya statue that stands metres away from the spot where he was gunned down in downtown Nairobi 47 years ago was an artistic monument in Nairobi and became an instant hit with commercial photographers, and fans of Gor Mahia which Mboya founded in 1968.
The fans still assemble there before and after matches, ostensibly to pray, a practice said to have contributed to the disfigurement of flamingo carvings and other symbols that added to the magnificence of what was a truly popular ‘shrine’ built in memory of the ‘best president Kenya never had.’
