if you are hosting on google apps you cannot register and pay for a .ke domain within google apps

the initial rules to prevent cybersquating by non kenyans need to be reviewed

Could it be to do with security?

Some people seem to prefer .com domains coz they are hosted abroad out of reach of security agencies.

Dear Listers,

This is a conversation that Mr Ali Hussein and Barrack Otieno have been pushing. 

CA's Sector Statistics Report Q3 2019-2020. <https://ca.go.ke/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Sector-Statistics-Report-Q3-2019-2020.pdf> 

The number of registered domains dropped from 91,940 reported during the previous quarter to 91,603 domains during the period under review. As indicated during the previous quarter, the drop is attributed to the closure of businesses and other non-governmental institutions in the country. 

Kind Regards,

David Indeje
