Media owners take on Registrar of Companies over ADN claims

Kenya: The tactics of a group fighting to keep Kenya’s biggest broadcasters off-air have turned ugly, after a story in a local daily yesterday cited what now appears to be a fake document to claim that The Standard Group Limited, Nation Media Group Limited and Royal Media Services Limited do not own Africa Digital Network (ADN).

The three own KTN, NTV and Citizen TV respectively, the stations in the digital consortium called Africa [not African] Digital Network. Not only was the letter cited by the daily questionable, but it displayed several discrepancies that may point to an ulterior motive behind it.
