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.
When in 2009 Nyaboke (not her real name) bought two acres from a workmate, she had no intentions of one day selling it to the highest bidder. But not long ago, the land was compulsorily acquired by the National Land Commission (NLC) for the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR).
Nyaboke is one of the many land investors currently waiting for a fat cheque from NLC in compensation. “It is now paying off. In a few weeks’ time, we will receive our cheques,” she says.
