The Standard e-Paper
Kenya’s Boldest Voice
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 appeal is obvious: Singapore rose from a fragile post-colonial outpost to a global economic powerhouse within a generation.

More importantly, it blinds Kenyans to the real obstacle to national progress: Our entrenched culture of political corruption.
