The Standard e-Paper
Kenya’s Boldest Voice
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.
Back in 2014, governors from seven counties in northern Kenya joined hands to form the Frontier Counties Development Council (FCDC). The aim was to build capacity and co-ordinate the development of a region that, to many residents, had been left behind (Turkana was the latest entrant in 2017). It was not going to be easy getting well-equipped hospitals, functioning maternity wards, running water, good schools and paved roads to a region that lagged behind in all development indices.
To many, the power to finally decide their destiny was ecstasy. The people now knew who to hold accountable if development slackened or didn't "arrive”.
