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

The second round of independent Kenya's constitutional talks began on Valentine's Day of 1962 at the Long Gallery, Lancaster House.
For five weeks, the two opposing sides, Kanu as majority and Kadu as minority, had debated endlessly on their opposing forms of government, with Colonial Secretary Reginald Maulding acting as the grand inquisitor.
Kanu was not giving up on its demand for a unitary state and neither was Kadu slackening its resolve for majimbo. Kadu threatened to walk out of the talks and to continue no further until the structure of government was agreed upon.
