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.
The government has intensified its push for local manufacturing, warning that Kenya’s growing dependence on imported goods and the proliferation of counterfeit products are undermining economic growth, destroying jobs, and keeping the cost of living high.
Speaking during a stakeholders’ sensitisation meeting in Nairobi, Principal Secretary for Investment, Trade and Industry, Juma Makwana, said Kenya cannot continue being a consumption-driven economy, and therefore, there is a need to take manufacturing seriously, whether at small, medium, or industrial scale.
