KENIC has done well, in addressing the issue of .ke domains, although the
public perception feels that .com is far much better than anything .ke.

If that is the case, then it's time for KENIC to come forward and make the
dream of realizing .ke a reality.
My suggestion would be to have some kind of approaches which will call for
domain name registration which should include the cost of hosting a website.
This, IMO, would be, in a great sense, create employment opportunities for
the robust and focused web designers and new entities would be registered.

I wouldn't advocate for death of KENIC as Bob has advocated!

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the
same way to the side of a hill!

AND

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!
