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

Kenya's drive to harness underground heat for stable, clean electricity received a boost on Thursday after the African Development Bank (AfDB) approved a $16.5 million (Sh2.64 billion) loan for a new geothermal power plant.
The financing will support the construction of the 35-megawatt OrPower Twenty-Two plant at the Menengai field, a site rich with geothermal potential located north of Nakuru, the bank said.
