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.
Kenya's vibrant entertainment scene is full of talent. But beneath the dazzling veneer of celebrity life, a troubling trend has emerged: the normalization of begging by stars, not for artistic endeavours or worthy causes, but for personal luxuries and unsustainable lifestyles.
