Thursday, January 29, 2026 - Standard Media Group has been thrust into controversy following reports that an Associate Editor abuses his position to harass female staff and retaliates against those who reject his advances.
According to sources, Associate Editor Alex Kiprotich is
accused of preying on female employees, with allegations that staff members who
decline his advances are demoted, sidelined or dismissed under questionable
circumstances.
Among those cited is former senior news anchor Ashley Mazuri (pictured
below), who reportedly resigned last month after being demoted
for turning down Alex’s advances.
Alex was previously fired as Bureau Chief in Nakuru but went
to Gideon Moi and returned to Nairobi as Associate Editor.
Now claiming connections to the Moi family and armed with
screenshots and WhatsApp messages he insists prove his ties, Alex behaves as if
he is always right.
He assumes that he is more competent than dozens of journalists who have worked in established stations far better than Standard.
