[kictanet] Uganda Statehouse website a marvel

[Walubengo J]

@ Onsakia,

So what makes you feel it is the Ugandans who copied the American's Website?  It could be the other way round you know. Unless you have evidence the Ugandans copied, then you can share  :-)

walu.

As much as I like the website for the State House of Uganda, I absolutely don't like the plagiarism I see in terms of 'copy paste' of the design, look and feel from the White House one. Someone should be paid to innovate and be creative not just 'pull' and paste. 

Best Regards,
