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 Constitution of Kenya 2010 recognises women, persons with disability, youth and ethnic minorities as special groups deserving constitutional protection.
More specifically, Article 81 (b), which refers to the general principles of the electoral system, provides that not more than two-thirds of the members of elective public bodies shall be of the same gender. Strictly speaking and in the Kenyan context, the foregoing could be deduced to mean that women should at a minimum form a third of the elected leaders.
