[kictanet] Why are lots of .go.ke websites not https://?

Tue Nov 23 11:02:41 EAT 2021

Love that someone brought this up. You can't leave such things to chance.

It's the same thing as CCing a blast email with everyone's email addresses
visible to everyone.

The procurers rarely know what to look out for. They just know they need a
website. Or a social media page etc. No rules of engagement. No social
media policy to guide them. No IT Policy either. Nothing.

It's also amusing that for a government that's so keen on regulating
behavior online charity does not begin at home.
