Dr. Rigia,

Most govt agencies did come up with websites, not because they had prepared
well for the digital age, but because it was fashionable to have one (since
every other person was having one), the expenditure not withstanding. You
therefore should not be surprised that many of the websites are
dysfunctional. You'd be lucky if you could find someone in such institutions
who can "take ownership of the website". You'll probably be told it is "IT",
and whom you'll discover was not consulted and as such is not any
interested. So far, what works in KE is physically going there and
"causing", to an extent that you stop everything else from happening until
they've resolved your issue.
