Effective
November 1, 2026, Yaseen replaces an earlier plan to appoint acting
editor-in-chief John Bundotich, following a competitive board process.
His
background includes leading Kenya Broadcasting Corporation and judiciary
communications, backed by a PhD, MBA, law degree, and High Court advocacy.
The board expects him to boost digital and commercial performance amid financial pressures like past losses and leadership turnover since 2018, as the company runs The Standard newspaper, TV, radio, and digital platforms.
