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.
Kenya’s discourse on social, political, legal or economic issues is amazingly predictable. Any issues that drive a wedge between the leading political factions colonises all critical media space, sucking all available oxygen and leaving other issues, however important, in the periphery of public discussion.
Pundits on TV, newspaper columnists and the political hacks all speak from the same script and Kenyans on social media follow suit in fairly foreseeable patterns. It is therefore not surprising that in the BBI debate it is the wedge issues in which the dominant political factions disagree that have so far defined public discourse.
