Calling out the Bold Impunity at the Standard Group
Behind the bold headlines lies a growing labour crisis. This commentary examines allegations of prolonged salary arrears, unpaid terminal dues, unremitted statutory deductions, and the legal questions surrounding corporate accountability at Standard Group. It argues that if these allegations are proven and the pattern of governance failures persists, the case for holding directors and beneficial owners personally accountable could become increasingly difficult to ignore.
