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 Standard Group PLC strongly condemns the unconstitutional and arbitrary shutdown of the broadcast signal for its television station, KTN, by signal distributors following orders from the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA).
The action, executed without any legal justification, follows a directive shared on social media directing all broadcasters to halt TV and radio live coverage of Gen Z demonstrations commemorating one year anniversary of the anti-tax protests of June 25, 2024.
