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 problem that we face as far as corruption is not lack of legal framework for fighting graft, it does exist, but the challenge is lack of enforcement of the relevant bodies mandated to fight corruption coupled with undue interference from the lords of impunity as well as some quarters of the government agencies.
