The Standard Group Media, which owns KTN, now claims the government, through the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), is planning to revoke its broadcasting licence.

Through an announcement made by KTN  News during the 9 pm bulletin, the media company revealed it received a notice from CA announcing the revocation of the media outlet's licence for allegedly failing to pay a Ksh43 million fee.

The media house noted that the Ksh43 million was a regulatory fee, which it agreed upon with the government in December last year after consultations.

In the agreement, Standard Media Group pledged to make an initial payment of Ksh10 million, which it honoured on December 27 last year, but promised to make another payment of Ksh24 million once the Rights Issue was finalised.
