Mismanagement at Standard Group drives sales agents to the brink of suicide

Information reaching the editor of this site shows that, Moi-family-owned media house is struggling and teetering on the brink of collapse.

Standard Group under Orlando Lyomu (Pictured) is a shell of its former self as the CEO continues to blunder into failure.

A little bird whispers to kenyanbulletin.com that the firm invested over Sh80 million n Euro Cup finals but is yet to realize its investments.

Salespeople are stressed, with others on the brink of omitting suicide as pressure from the firm to perform has reached alarming levels.

“We are being pressured much to deliver but the market is constrained and I personally feel like I’ve reached the end of the road”, said a salesperson that spoke to us.

Brain drain

Because of the mismanagement, salespeople are resigning en masse to join rival media houses.

According to insiders, clueless management by Mr. Lyomu coupled with Covid-19 pandemic has reduced the media house into a begging house where guesswork forms most of the decisions.

Many sales agents haven’t been paid their dues and the management seems to not have an explanation for this.

“I have not received my salary for two months, but we are being pressured to bring sales’, said a salesperson who wished to remain anonymous.
