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 planned sale of 11 parastatals, valued at Sh200 billion, has received condemnation from many Kenyans over fears that the exercise could become a rip-off of valuable assets by well-connected and corrupt individuals seeking quick riches.
