ADN VS ADNL

On Wednesday a section of the media reported that “African Digital Network is not owned by the Nation Media Group, Standard Media and Royal Media, despite their pushing the government for ADN to be granted a digital platform licence.”

The report further stated that the Registrar of companies stated that the owners of ADN were Timothy Charo Odhiambo and John Macharia Maina, who each held 500 shares in the company.

However, the media reports referred to a different company African Digital Network (ADN), whose name is close to that of the Africa Digital Network Limited (ADNL).
