The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media
platforms spanning newspaper print

Standard Group is recognized as a
leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key influence in matters of national

Late last year, Nairobi governor Johnson Sakaja announced in a circular the revocation of licenses for nightclubs and wines and spirits outlets operating in residential areas.
“No nightclub licenses will be issued or renewed for premises operating within residential areas. Those already issued are hereby cancelled and establishments may continue operating as bars and restaurants only,” Mr Sakaja said.
Relentless complaints by city residents had finally borne fruit. Noise pollution had been addressed in that statement, but there was, consequently, both excitement and furore on social media.
