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 counties cited as having been forced to foot bills arising from illegal sackings are Nyeri, Laikipia, Embu, Isiolo, and Meru.
