The Standard Group has condemned the violent attack on two journalists in Cherangany, Trans Nzoia County, on Friday, March 20, as pressure mounts on authorities to investigate the incident and take action against those responsible.

In a statement, the Company's CEO, Chaacha Mwita, noted that Gilbert Sitati of Standard Group and George Njoroge of MediaMax were assaulted while carrying out their professional duties, adding that their lives were put at risk by what it described as reckless actions by political actors opposed to scrutiny.
