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.
The coincidence could not have been more poignant. Exactly nine years and one day ago, a group of masked gunmen raided KTN offices and switched off transmission. The TVs are off-air today, and there is no telling when the screens will come back to life.
The Standard Group raid on March 2, 2006 was executed by masked gunmen who stormed its offices at I&M building along Kenyatta Avenue, beat up staff and disconnected transmission equipment. The thugs also raided The Standard's printing press on Likoni Road and burnt newspapers, in one of the worst attacks on media freedom in Kenya.
