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.
Months preceding his death at Maanzoni, Senator Mutula Kilonzo caused a national stir by suggesting that persons charged with international crimes should not run for elective office.
He virulently defended this position, saying he would still be right even if everybody else in the country took the contrary position. He threatened to dump his party if it supported the candidature of Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto.
Mutula was known for taking hardline positions. And he defended them with his all. During the single-party era, Mutula was an overzealous defender of Kanu, and took no prisoners.
