Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The government's proposal to merge various regulatory and subsidiary institutions that support universities and higher education institutions in Kenya is an affront to the Constitution of Kenya, the Universities Act, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority Act, and other acts of Parliament that led to the establishment of these authorities following the enactment of the new Constitution. The matter is currently under legislative review process and could get parliamentary approval.
