The Standard Group Plc is a

Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
By 2050 the Democratic Republic of Congo is projected to be the 9th most populous country in the world, with almost 200 million people. Ethiopia is projected to be tenth on the list at just over 190 million people. Why should we care about these numbers? For the simple reason that they present enormous economic opportunities for the wider Eastern African region.
With that in mind, it is encouraging that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been hard at work strengthening our trade links to both Ethiopia and the DRC. The link to Ethiopia through the port of Lamu promises to open business opportunities not only along the coast, but also in the wider North Eastern region.
